Trailing arms
Ok my thoughts keep thinking that I need to keep the trailing arms off the 3/4 now for my 1/2. Since I am going to build a 600+hp 454...I almost think this would be wise. I am assuming that the 2/3 trailing arm are stronger since they are on a 3/4.

Re: Trailing arms
They are just a tick stronger... if you look at them they have a plate covering the seam where the arms usually rust between the halfs.
In springfield... they are probably still rusted pretty bad |

Re: Trailing arms
that seam looks like it is already starting tobe spread apart by rust.
