Selection of Twin-I-Beam concept used in 1965 Ford light trucks is discussed against background of desirable suspension objectives; establishment of qualification criteria which required use of most efficient techniques of environmental measurement, testing and design; examples are load determination over long routes using FM tape recording and automatic data processing, fatigue testing of systems in preference to only component testing, correlation of laboratory and track testing and use of plastic models for rapid stress analysis of alternate design proposals.
