First of all IF anyone did try a GNX rear it will not work because of the obvious mounting locations of the GNX one. Right side mount vs. F-Body's left side

Would just require a custom tunnel mounted TA relocation.

Due to the lack of GNX parts someone would have to custom make a cover based on this design. If one had the resources they could have a mirror image of this one made.

I have an idea, how about a simple ladder bar rear with rod ends for articulation and a PHB for uh stabilization.

How about a single ladder bar mounted to the axle tube close to the pumpkin. Or does it need to be as close to center as possible. How about an offset to get it to mount centered in the frame.

I've had one drawn(rough) up for quite a while now,I'll have to convert it to digital for posting.

GNX rear



some truck brackets




relo extensions I fabbed and tested


the traction increase with the relo extensions was phenominal.The increased upward push of the body resulted in an increased downward push of the rearend.A short torque arm functions just like leaf-spring liftbars of the 60s/70s.
