Well Mark:  You are right, those are ball joint trailing arms and axles.  But I 
will gaurentee you it didn't come original on that bus.  Now the big question 
is:  what is it and how did they get it mounted on there?  The bump stops are 
not original to a splitty front beam either, so did the whole front beam maybe 
come out from under an early bay?  Or did they just mount the trailing arms 
from a bay onto the torsion tubes of the split and modify the bump stops.  Some 
of you guys know the bays, does this look like a bay front suspension?  Will an 
early bay front suspension bolt up to the frame of a splittie.  Help Will!
 
Mark you just went beyond splitty parts and immediately landed me in a place I 
have no expertise.  If Will is correct about some late 67 splits having ball 
joint fronts (I have never seen one nor heard of it before) maybe they found a 
late 67 split and removed both the tranny and front suspension and upgraded the 
61 SC.

It confuses me too. I know we aren't suppose to post pics here but here are the 
pics I just took of the right front suspension. Looks like a ball joint front 
end to me.
