I looked at cpp and they don't carry anything for 73-87 trucks. Porterbuilt hasn't started mass producing their crossmember yet so I'm still on the drawing board. Any other suggestions?

What about using the crossmember and making my own trailing arms...?

You're not looking hard enough: p/n 7387TAC Conversion kit w/o arms

Did you speak w/PB directly? I know they're not advertising the x-members, but he might be able to get you specifics.

If it were me (& I planned to do this swap on my 74 @ one point in time), I would opt for buying the conversion x-member to use w/stock truck arms before I would mess w/modifying a OE x-member to work w/custom built arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
