What are you looking for? Restoration info, or modifications, such as fiberglass spring install, off-set trailing arms, etc.?

I'm doing a body off restoration on my 74, I have a Chiltons repair manual that I'm going by, but it doesn't show pictures of how everything goes back together.  Basically, I'm looking for step by step instructions on how to put the rear suspension back together.

Yes...look for either the AIM(Assembly Instruction Manual), or the Factory(GM) Service manual..or both! They will both be invaluable to you if you are doing any major repairs.
AIMs can be purchased from any of the Corvette parts vendors, for around $20-25. Service manuals are out there, too...usually around $40.
