There are also a few companies that sell back half kits. Chris Alston's Chassisworks comes to mind.

Re: 78 c10 tubbing

I'll attest to the Chassis Works stuff ....... I'm building a pro touring 46 ford coupe right now - hence the "ratty 46" name tag.
I'm doing the FAB9 rear/4 link/coil overs + tube control arms with R&P steering.
All of the stuff I've recv'd so far is top notch.
