Anyone got some good ladder bar setup pics I can look at for some ideas I'm throwing together.

Randy - I'm still too E-slow to know how to send pics, but here are some things I used on a mini-tub job on my 69: I located the rearend with Jeg's S/S suspension bars(#41001), used a diagonal link, then switched to a wishbone due to exhaust clearance. Welded in 2 pieces of 4" square tube in the ladder bar crossmember for exhaust to run thru. Mufflers are 4" round, spiral baffled inside, located between ladder bars and driveshaft; they dump down just ahead of axle. The exhaust system is not visible from the side this way. With 15 x 12 Welds and 29 x 15.5-15 MT Sportsmans, rear seat just fits over custom tubs with a little trimming of seat frame. Stock fuel tank also just fits. Coil overs used instead of leafs. Interior still looks stock(except for 4 point bar). Outside also appears stock except for fat tires. Trunk looks almost stock with no fuel cell. Hope this helps.........DC
