Suggestions on rear setup for c1500, for a cheap ass friend

My buddy has 1/2 chevy that he wants to bag the back to lay out. He wants to put the bags on the lower bars on the side of the frame. I suggested doing a 3 link with a panhard bar as he wants to keep the stock gas tank. He really doesn't want a 2 link so I don't see a reason why using a single top bar straight forward above the driveshaft and a panhard bar wouldn't work just fine. What do you guys think? Isn't that the way old impalas were stock?

thanks for the help

if your buddy comes around to wanting a 2-link let me know, i might be able to get a brand new ekstensive weld on c-notch set-up pretty cheap. A friend of mine bought it for a truck and ended up not using it.

Will there two-link kit work on a dually too? Or do they have a different kit for duallies?

cheapest way is a 2 link and panhard.....


better set up would be a 3 link with a "wishbone" style for the 3rd link and would eliminate the panhard.
