Wishbone for a truck arm set-up.

I saw that truck at HeatWave but didn't notice. I'll hafta look. Actually on my application a Watts would be way more trouble and not be as good a fit for my application.

You could probably use the telescoping sliding section of a driveshaft to make it work. Those slide but don't have slop to them and are greasable for long term use. You can go to a driveline shop and purchase just the slined shaft and then the collar piece and weld up a wishbone using that as the sliding piece, or buy a used driveline and cut out the section you need.

^^^ good call.

Cody- what I mean by stiff, is that the pivots are non compliant, like Derin. Not eurethane or rubber.

Max. I don't know why but when you said stiff I thought stiff as in how easily it swivels not how well it resists side to side movement.. The brain is funny like that I guess. Robbie, the sliding driveshaft is what originally got me thinking about this. I just haven't had time to go to my favorite salvage facility to look at some. We also have a great driveline shop here that sells all the components seperate so it would be easy to get what ever I find would work. By the way,I love your panel. I followed it on your website during the build-up. Thanks for the help guys.

I can't see why you would need to run a telescoping wishbone in an instance like that. There is plenty of room for a traditional wishbone 4-link or even a triangulated 4-link.

Am I missing something?

i dunno max, but that truck is fucking baaad.

thats a 73-79 right?

don't get me wrong... I love those trucks! I was just wondering why you spent the time on the telescoping wishbone.

why is the back wheel so far forward?

im assuming those above answers can be because he is from TX, land of flat roads and 2 links!
