Hey Tic, those are great looking pieces! I called UMI this morning to see if I could get some straight upper control arms not the bannana arms. Tech guy says no. Guess I am on my own again for the uppers. You saw in the pictures of the driver side upper that I have modified that it was pretty close to the trunk floor, I have to redesign that piece so it will not hit the floor with max suspension travel. Until I get my feet back on the ground after this rear suspension redesign/instant center quest I will have to use the stock type arms. I like your design but I think I want to stay with the poly bushings for now. I will be lowering the lower control arms this weekend.

You could use these type and the ends instead of the center adjuster type.

Also: What is the inside to inside measurement on your upper control arm brackets? My passenger is in the stock location but I need to see where the drivers side is going to sit.

thanks!

Tic.
If I read you right you are asking for the center to center measument to the bushing end holes? From the center of the frame bracket hole to the center of the axle bracket hole measures 13.5". The holes are already in place on the stock 60 chevy for the driver side upper frame bracket. With the axle in place and the car sitting on the suspension and the passenger side upper control arm hooked up and the pinnion angle at 4 dgs Just bolt on the driver side axle housing brackets to the control arm put the other end in the frame bracket and bring the arm and brackets down to the axle and tac em up. Because the Ford 9" is offset to the driverside one of the axle brackets will sit on the pig housing. I can post pictures if you need them. I can get you the inside to inside measurments between the brackets but you need to set it up like I said.
