Hello everyone. So I took my car out for a drive this weekend and was a nice ride other then the clicking and clacking in the rear area of my car when I would come to a stop after making turns. Like if the brakes were hanging up or like when the weight of the car would shift on the rear it would make that click or clack sound. So any how everything in the rear is original from my 69 Vette so trying to see if anyone has any replacement parts they would like to sell? Also what exactly should I replace. I did the leaf spring and shocks for the rear but that's about it.

Check the universal joints on the driveshaft and half shafts for play is where I'd start. I'd add a bottle of posi lube to the rear as well. You may need to remove some gear oil from the rear so as not to overfill. Drive the car in circles to get the lube distributed. Take a good look at the trailing arms for bushing wear. Get the rear off the ground and check for wheel wobble top and sideways to check the bearings. I wouldn't just start hanging parts until I diagnosed what I needed.
You should probably repost this in the C3 General Forum to get more advice on diagnosing the problem. Dave

Or.... It could be the posi clutches sticking in the rear. You said after making turns and that is a common symptom. Put a bottle of the GM (only GM Brand) additive in the rear end and then drive some figure 8's in a parking lot... .it should free up the clutches if they are stuck.
