Bill, There are still some really great working cars out there with ladder bars. ........The key,as in any suspension is not how many attachments the links have ,but how you dampen them. .......A quality set of double adjustable shocks will allow you to make the ladder work nearly as well as the 4 link. .....The setup between foot and trans brake is one primarly of launch rpm ,converter design,and shock settings. ....Good luck with your return. .......Tom
