I also have a set that are rusted through. I think its a common problem for this area of the country. Are there any aftermarket available?

New are very expensive, but go to the parts board, if you don't find any listed, you can start a thread looking for them, I believe. I found a used pair for $250 from a vendor, new are probably near that each. Mine were sandblasted and painted and look like new.

aftermarket trailing arms
ACES , I got my after market trailing arms from LMC. They look to be real good , they come with the plates spot weilded on top and bottom for extra strengh from the back to the front about a foot or so and also include the bushings. They where U.S.A. made at the time I got them and I think $250.00 at that time also. To order a catalog Toll free 1-800-222-5664 or Online ordering www.LMCTRUCK.com and
LMC TRUCK P.O. Box 14991 Lenexa,Kansas 66285-4991 There also may be others out there with these parts in the market that can help, at the time when I got mine I believe they were the ownly ones. Take care. NGN NICK N.J. |

I have a set I'll sell you. I 'll get the condition of them today and get a few pictures for you. 175.00 plus shipping. I know they aren't rusted. They will need new bushings. I can clean them up and install Energey Suspensions bushings in them for you but I'll want 250.00 if I do all of that.
