86 C10 Trailing Arm Conversion

[JW76]

Just want to show a project that I am starting and see if anyone has input and interest. I've read many articles about how great the trailing arm suspension is in the 67-72s and how it has been used in Nascar, etc. I saw the hotrods to hell site and their project truck and read about all the cars that they have built using the trailing arm setups. It seems like trailing arms can be setup to take on road courses, drift, and drag. So naturally, I was interested. CPP recently came out with a kit to install trailing arms in a 73-87 but at $2000 i would assume it is out of the average person's price range. Through the parts for sale section here I got a great deal on some rust free 70 trailing arms and a crossmember and am going to make it happen on a budget. Where there is a will there is a way.
