Trailing Arms From Scratch
I'm going to make some out of 2x2 box tubing, but would like to know what people have used on the ends?
Is there a kit? Are people just using bushings? Are some using Heims? Has anybody ever used the ends off of the leaf springs? |

Re: Trailing Arms From Scratch
Also, since my son's truck was a leaf setup, if I find a pair of TA's from a 70's model truck will those work?

Re: Trailing Arms From Scratch
I think all the trailing arm from 60-72 are the same. So as long as you add in the trailing arm crossmember and a centering device (panhard rod, watts link) you should be ok. That is assuming it is 60-72.
