<VV> early suspension changes question

[DTerry8123 at aol.com]

To the best of my knowledge, the heavy duty suspension, which included the  
rebound straps was made available as an option starting with the 1962 
models. It  was also available for 1963.
I hope that helps.

Thanks  for all the replies thus far.  I'd really like some more solid data
on  the "camber limiting straps" since that seems to be the source of the
idea  that GM employed a "fix" in the early suspension to counter handling  
or
rollover issues.

So I'd really like to know when they became  available, whether or not they
were used on all cars eventually or only  those with the suspension upgrade
package, and exactly what they do.   At least one reply seemed to say that
these things prevented the axle from  rebouding UP too far, I assume that is
a mistake or typo and that they  limit the DROP of the axle... therefore
limiting the maximum camber  change.
