Did the NASCAR MOPARS of the early-mid 70's use trailing arms (basically a GM type rear suspension) instead of factory type leaf springs? Trailing arms were not "stock" to factory made MOPARS. I hope I'm stating my question clearly. .......... more .........

From what I understand, there were some chassis makers in the 70's and on that made chassis' that you could buy a chassis from? Ray Fox maybe? If you watch the video of Richard Pettys famous flip at Darlington in 1970, you can see a factory floor pan, rear leaf springs and I believe a front K-member and factory front suspension. I guess what I'm trying to find out is: did the "stock" cars from the 1970's on up use factory "stock" chassis setups and components? Or did it all come down to a same style of chassis, supension, that all NASCAR cars used across the board of all makes?
