Not to hijack Kevins thread,, but while were on the subject of front suspension, who makes a decent tubular control arm / coil over package for the 63-67 pickups?

I have been looking at porterbuilt Fabrications front member with coilover and I know that fatman has a bolt in kit also.

Mine are the STS Series -1574p. It does look these shocks are now around $150 at discount retailers like Summit and Jegs. I checked with my wholesaler distributor and my price is $139. That's a big price jump in the last few years.
