Re: I need help!
Do you mean a conventional parallel 4-link?
 And with the panhard bar in the pic:   If you want a conventional splayed 4-link, it'll be any GM 64-88 GM A or B-Body, available in many model kits.

Re: I need help!
lets see here. For the rods I would do the following. Get some aluminum tubing of the propper size. Then get some hex rod of the same size. file/sand the hex so that it fits inside the tubing. Cut it off and file/sand flat to give you the jamb nut. Then drill out the center. Insert some plastic rod, then attach to the end of that a peice of plastic tube cut to width, that will give you the mounting point. If you weren't going for extreme realism you could skip the plastic tube and simply use some more plastic rod. the reason for going from aluminum to plastic is ease. I find it easier to glue plastic for strength than it is to glue aluminum for strength. If you wanted a simpler route. Start with the aluminum tubing. Then cut some SMALL pieces for the mounting eyes/heim joints. Then super glue them into place. that will give you a mounting point to slide between the brackets on the chassis and rear end mounts. feel free to e-mail me [email protected] for more help if you need it

Re: I need help!
I'd grab a 'WagonRod' kit for the PU chassis and I know there has to be a prostreet mopar chassis around for the duster.
