With the traditional side steer in the front you shouldn't need a panhard bar. Mine doesn't have one and I have no problems at all. From what I've heard and read you only need them for cross steering set ups.

Same goes for the rear with a transverse spring. Is there really a need for a panhard bar?

Build looks great I really like it. Can't wait to start my 30 A pickup.

DMW,
Thats what I read too, I figured the transverse spring wouldn't allow side to side movement.
However I have been told that the shackles still allow some side to side movement. I figured I would drive without panhard bars and if I didn't like the way it drove I would add them later on. My guess is the things not going to handle good with the bias plys on it anyway

What are your plans for your 30 A PU? I really like the looks of the A pickups.

Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas-
Since I am using the cross-steer with a Vega steering box, and coilover rear, both with radius rods (no 4 bar), I opted to use the Panhard bars. I finally got off my butt, and snapped some photos, please forgive the blurry, out-of-focus photos...

Crap. I rez=sized those damn photos to what I thought was matchbook size, and they still turned out super humongous...Crap.
Sorry.
Lemme try this one, it is the size of a postage stamp-

Okay, I am doing something WRONG.
Sorry for the waste of bandwidth, guys.
