Cupped lower A arms

I’ve searched and searched and only found one company that made them at one point but since has stopped. I’m looking for some cupped lower a arms for a 63-66 C10. Does anyone make them or does anyone know where I can send mine to have them done?

Any tips or suggestions would be great!

If you have some one close that can do the welding I have a set of the way2lo cups that I bought for a project and never used.

Re: Cupped lower A arms

There is a guy on facebook who does them called Squared Away Customs if I remember correctly.

Its super easy to do. You can cut them in yourself and any shop should be able to weld them in. Im sure even a muffler shop could do it.

I got my cups from Speedy Metals. They cost a few bucks more but will cut them to whatever size you want. Saves some time and hassle.

Well I found someone locally to do them; now just need to order some cups. I looked up Squared Away Customs and found they have a facebook but don't see an actual website. I personally don't do ANY social media stuff (i know shocking).

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.

I asked him if he would sell me cups to do the arms on my own. The only way he will do them is if you send him the arms, he wouldnt sell cups seperate.

I got a set of cups from way2lo (Boris) instead. I tried pricing them out locally but honestly I couldnt find anyone that would beat his price unless I bought a large piece and then I had no idea how I was going to get it cut into the 2" lengths.

I'll go and get a large flat rate box and see if they will fit and let you know. Give me a zip code.
