Re: Trailing arm differences? '60-'62, '63-'66?

My original Eaton rear end is leaking pretty bad from the pinion seal and rather than fight with it and worry about crush sleeve, etc...I figured I'd just swap it out with the 12 bolt.

I see you kept the original perches in place when you installed the new ones, did you have enough room to strike a good weld bead still (cant tell from the pic)?

Did you buy your perches from CaptainFab....mind telling me what they ran price wise?

Thanks!
