What rear suspension are you planning on using?

Let me get it out of the truck and under the car, and I'll see if you can identify it.

There are, of course, some clearance issues to be corrected. Some trimming and integrating of the new subframe with the original frame. Still not decided if I'm going to make concessions to bolt the rear in and out, or weld it in. I'm leaning towards welding, but that's going to depend on how accessable it makes things like the sway bar once it's all in the right place.









Plenty a wide wheel should fit under the fenders, methinks!

BMW?

I was thinking of using a Mustang or Thunderbird/MKVIII unit, but went Ford 9" instead.

Nope! It's much more appropriate than a BMW!

You know, guys, it's ok to talk to me about my project. I see you looking.

Anyone figured out what the rear suspension is from? You get a gold star if you get it right!
