Trailing Arms/ Control Arms - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We noticed awhile ago that the traling arms are rotted.
this is showing where their rotted:

i dont have an actuall picture of them at the moment, since the frame is under a bunch of uther stuff... Anyway we knocked that center part out easily.

Should i repair them? Or Buy new ones?

killer71 · 05-12-2008, 02:24 PM

buy new

Ol'Rover · 05-12-2008, 02:36 PM

ok now my question is... (after looking at LMC)

are they 349.95 each? or for a pair?

you can get southern ones much cheaper. The guys down south and out west think they are worthless... as it was said to be when i was in washington... "I can't even give them away"

extd56 · 05-12-2008, 04:25 PM

I usually get 100.00 for a good pair around here.
