- Start date
Thought the 65 on up have a 4 bar rear suspension
You could be right but mine came stock with only 3
Question is where can i get 4th bar?
Most classic car wrecking yards will have them 65 to 67 I believe use the longer upper arms after that the upper arms are shorter also in 65 6cyl and 283 cars got the 10 bolt rear with only one upper arm but the holes are already drilled for the fourth arm witch all 327 and larger engines got the 12 bolt rear with four arms

I found this information. Wow I learned something today.
(The rear suspension was also new and improved, with two primary trailing arms, carrying the coil springs. One additional upper control arm was used on the six cylinder and 283 V8 versions, and a second upper control arm with the 327 and larger V8 engines (and all wagons), to better control the motion forces under acceleration. The rear axle was a stronger Salisbury-type, and the driveshaft was now a one-piece unit. )
I'm sure there are many aftermarket companies or it would be a trip to an older salvage yard that hasn't crushed every old car.

What is the name of the guy in Nebraska that has that big chevy junk yard?
Your frame should already be drilled for the mount. The 12 bolt will have the bracket already. The bars if you want stock are often available on Ebay cheap. However the adjustable ones are cheap and you don't have to make or run down the shims.

These don't have the bracket to the frame with them though.
