SS/B and SS/A Chassis and Suspension
Thanks Moparmaninc, sure is interesting reading...
I fund these pictures from a 1976 Super Stock DI.
First of Carpinet Bros. record holding A automatic. They still relied on what the SS A-Body Program guys came up with, eight years earlier. Car ran 9.7,s 140 mph. How impressive is that... with plain leaf springs. Wheels are now 13" and Dana 60 probably the 44,5" unit DC offered. Leaf spring has been moved in under sub frame, as well as the wheel well have been moved in, to make room for the 15X32" slicks.

Second picture however, show the Livingstone McCandless new SS/J entry (ยด71 Cuda 340 ) We see some more work has been done here, to support the front segment of the springs...
