... for an idea I want to try out. Anyone out there have a set that aren't bent? And that are cheeeeeaaaappp? I'm looking for a pair of lower and a pair of upper.

If you've got some laying around, let me know a price including shipping to 02081.

Thanks,

Kenneth

I got a set of uppers that I will let go cheap. They are completely taken apart, and cleaned. No shafts, no ball joints. I'll send them to you for $35 plus shipping. I will have to weigh them first to figure shipping, and that won't be til monday. let me know if you're interested.

OK, it turns out that these things are fairly heavy... duh. So the shipping cost is going to cut into my budget on these... which means I'm looking to pretty much rob you of the parts themselves. Any takers?

Let me know. Thanks,

Kenneth

I think they're all the same for 67-72 C-10 (and C-20 ??), plus mine's a '69 anyway. So... if you can get me an idea of what they'd cost to ship to 02081, I'd appreciate it. Email address is below.

Thanks kb!

Give me a little bit so I can find out how much they weigh and check on prices.

Go with 1/2 ton. They're lighter, but they won't be as cheap.

I have a set off of a 69 chevy. I will sell them for $30. If you have anyone down here that could bring them to you, let me know.

Thanks very much to knucklebuster for the control arms. They arrived today and so now all I have to do is clean them up, start cutting on them, and after the dust settles hopefully I'll have my own control arm fix for the wheel offset problem when you lower these trucks a lot.

Thanks again kb!
