rear trailing arms on the cheap?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

iostorm · 06-15-2016, 07:43 AM

I am moving and need some rear trailing arms for my 72 c10, but I cant plop down 600 for the nice tubular ones right now. I need something quick so I can wheel this on to the trailer and get it moved. What are the least expensive ones available these days?

I found these;

Is there anything cheaper?

Thanks

That's where I got mine from. They were the cheapest around. Also, if you call them, they do better with shipping than what the shipping calculator does online. A pair shipped was 421. Not bad really. Look stock also.

I bought a stock set on ebay from California and with shipping ran me about 200 for the pair.

Ive been looking at these on summit. At $218 it seems too good to be true?

I don't know. I've been doing a lot of reading, and it seems that is not the way to go. If it was wouldn't you think NASCAR trucks would use it? They use stock type trailing arms. I think I would be more comfortable using stock type. Just my .02 cents.

Make sure you order ones for a c10. I thought that sounded to cheap seeing cpp sells theirs for 600

i clicked on what it fits it says chevelle the pic says may not be actual item

**GR8-68** · 06-15-2016, 10:31 PM

How can you make them for a chevelle so much cheaper than for a c10 ?

Supply and demand I reckon

12secondnova · 06-16-2016, 11:08 AM

Doh! I didnt even look at the applications tab

100 bucks in materials and bushings. My welding and fab working helps.

**GR8-68** · 06-16-2016, 12:18 PM

I will take a set, do you ship

firedemon · 06-16-2016, 05:12 PM
