Who sells trailing arms?

I am undecided on whether to buy some used, repop, or the stronger solid trailing arms. Who sells them, and any pro's or con's?

Re: Who sells trailing arms?

Does anybody have the ECE arms? I've seen the CPP's, but don't hear much about the ECE's.

Re: Who sells trailing arms?

Ram-Man, I have read your thread a while back and your trailing arms look great, but I am not into fabbing my own right now. I am preparing to do a frame swap of my 72 GMC to a 71 Chevy frame, so I have a lot of other work ahead of me. Thanks though.

Re: Who sells trailing arms?

fastom, any chance you could get some pictures of them? I'm not finding them on ECE's website. Where did you buy them, and what sort of price range were they, if you don't mind?

Re: Who sells trailing arms?

I found these two pictures. I paid $400 for mine, Mark at Early Classic knocked a few bucks off for me.

www.earlyclassic.com, go to "Suspension Components" under the catalog tab. First page!

Re: Who sells trailing arms?

OK, now I found them. I was clicking on "trailing arms" instead of "suspension components". Thanks
