68 lwb axle seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68c20lwb · 03-09-2011, 11:28 PM

hello, i am in a pinch. my axle seats or trailing arm mounts, i believe they are the same thing, have rusted and are causing the rear axle to dog walk all over the place. i have started to make my own out of 2x3 pieces of square tubing. to finish this project i need to find the measurements for the seats/mounts. LxWxH and hight from bottom of mount to bottom of axle, also the diameter of the axle hole to set the axle in? thanks for your help, this forum is so great!

Sorry I don't have the answer to your question.
I know you can purchase new mounts from ECE (www.earlyclassic.com).
Maybe someone else will chime in.

yeah i tried early classics, but i could not find them, and the ones i did find were for earlier gen trucks

Earlier gen trucks? Truck arms only came on the 60-72 trucks. Same mounting pads for all years.

Are the ones from cpp and epe the same?

mooseknuckles · 09-03-2014, 08:42 PM

these are some I made from 2x4 square tube, with a couple extra inches of drop built in them...I didn't drill them or cut the tops out yet for the u-bolts, but you get the idea...
