Help to Identify These Control Arms?

[Basketcase889]

Local guy has some air ride that was removed from a truck he bought to return to stock.

I have everything to bag this truck from my last build, and had only planned on cupping the stock lower control arms as I am not trying to lay frame. Then came across this ad.

Interested in the control arms/bag setup as it should be an upgrade (my stock arms need a full rebuild regardless) and they'd bolt in and go... however I don't know who makes the control arms and can't find a picture online to match them to.

Just want to make sure the geo on them will be good and they are a quality piece (which will also determine my cash offer to him) that wasn't gabbed up in a garage by a guy who doesn't know what he's doing.

Anyone recognize these from anywhere?

think you're bang on! They look like the airbagit control arms. Which is unfortunate.

They kinda have a bad rep, but we used to do some really sketchy things to these trucks back in the early 80's. Not as much aftermarket support.

Actually the rest of the stuff looks good, I'd be tempted if the price was right.

Ya... thats kind of where I'm at too. Really all depends on price. If not, I will just buy the chopping block arms like I planned.

Just as an update... seeing this deal is what set me down the air ride route with this build.

This truck ('69) was supposed to be my 4/6 static drop, full depth bed and simple mods to keep it functional and on the road. My '50 build however was the "on the ground" bagged build which I already have the parts for.

Somehow after looking at these control arms and justifying the efforts to bag this truck if I got a good deal... I ended up diving deep. I didn't even buy these arms in the end as I wanted better quality and couldn't get the deal cheap enough to justify the "sacrifice" in my mind.

So the truck has now been chopped in half to convert it from LWB to SWB, full notch in the rear with other goodies, and full Porterbuilt up front.

Oh how quickly things can change... and now I have two projects and no drivers on the road

[Basketcase889]

I don't know why the pictures did that...

[raggedjim]

Nice work, sometimes (most for me) plans change!

Stuff happens.

Definitely better-quality on the Porterbuilt parts.
