I'm thinking with a used set of arms, new bushings and some powdercoat on those and the CPP kit (-arms is 609) and could bring the trailing arm setup in for under a grand and be done....


Just got off the phone with CPP.

Kit is designed for 63-72 arms and will work with a stock set of arms.
The truck in that video uses their modular brake kit with a 2" drop spindle
They also used a 2" drop spring up front for 4" total.
Their rear arms have no drop built into them
and the truck has 3" 63-72 drop coils in the rear, or can use any other drop or stock spring for those years.

I'm thinking you will get another 2-3" drop out of the swap due to the axle being located on the top of the arms, so this truck would have a 4/6 or so drop from stock.


Now I just need some arms and 6 bills.....
