yeah, the independent front on the chevys was called knee action. It was very strange, so were some others. I had a 37 chevy in college but it had a solid axle.

the lower a arm on the study comes almost to the center of the car. the upper link looks like a short driveshaft with the yoke holding the top of the king pin assembly. It has rotary shocks so they would have to go I think.
