This is from memory, haven't had one of those cars in years, but I think this is correct: They had a three link, one upper and two lowers. Think of the later model cars, A and B body, with one upper control arm left off. Back in the day, a lot of people went to a salvage yard, and cut the control arm bracket off the frame and rearend housing of a wreck, and put the second upper control arm on. Don't think NHRA would really like that. Off hand, I do not know what the aftermarket offers for it.
