89 Chevy Pickup Tubbed

My friend has a 89 checy picky that he wants to tub and put a ford 9" in, finding the housing and everything is no problem but he nor I know how to set up the suspension afterwards. He has seen it done using a Four Link which is how I told him is most likely how he has to do it, but does anyone know of a site that shows how to do it.... Thanks guys

If you've never done a "from scratch" set up, I recommend a kit like #3625 or 3626.
http://www.chassisengineering.com/rearsuspension.html
3628 is also an option. There are at least a dozen companies that produce a similar kit. There are also options that will allow you to adjust your ride height, torsional bias, etc.

Hey, if you want it to go fast, you do what you have to do. He can always paint a Chevy logo on it. :-0
