R&P for A-bodies

The early 70's Pro Stock cars that added R/P did so adding them to the hollow K frame center, flipping the lower steering arms side for side, and adding/welding a bracket to the frame rail to support the rear of the LCA.

However.....they pretty much ran on the stops, limiting suspension travel to a fraction of an inch which resulted in very limited bump steer since the suspension was hardly moving. To try to help the negative ackerman issue, it appears the steering arms were heated and bent outward as far as the rim or brake components would allow. Great pics available in old CarCrafts and Hot Rods when they would feature new Pro Stock builds often. The one that comes to mind is a CarCraft with the 72 Motown Missile and team on the cover.

IF you wanted to clone a early pro Stock, that is the way to do it.....look cool , but not much fun to drive or turn.
