Changing Vette to solid axle
 
Someone on some forum [I don't remember who or where] talked about using the OE rear swing arms and adapting them to a solid axle with a custom-built adapter. The way I remember the story, he built an adapter with the OD of the inside of the trailing arm, and the ID of the new rear housing tube. But I do not remember what else he did to control the rear axle. Was that someone on this forum? I think it was someone with a stocker.

Jimmy Parker is the master of Corvette conversions! Depending on year I think Moser has kits that pretty much bolt in.
