Just wondering if they are companies out there producing IFS/IRS parts for 1st gen. So far they only place I have found is a place in alabama called Street Shop Chassis Work. (http://www.streetshopinc.com/products.htm)
Was hopping to find someone producing 'kits' using C4/C5 suspension components. Seems like a lot of work being done by companies for Tri-5 chevys but not for the f-body.

The guy who built the above for Tyler has kits to put the Vette stuff front and rear on the 67-69 Camaros. Here's his website:

Or if all else fails you can tackle it yourself! Thats what I did with my IRS. No matter how you look at it installing an IRS is no bolt in deal, a kit will help but there is still welding and alignment to be done by the installer (you). I've never frabricated so much as a bracket until I installed mine. Time and patience are all thats required. Plus you'll save yourself a #@$% pile of money!
Chill, Noel.

What measurements?
I had no measurements when I started, I just realised that I had payed for an irs and I had better make it fit. I have some new pics of the completed install, I should be able to post them soon. I'm just on my way back to work for another month but I could get you measurements when I get home. As far as placement was concerned I just made sure the rear was square and true, I will have to get a custom driveshaft anyway.
Let me know if you would like to see the pics and I can start a new post.
Chill, Noel.
