Re: Project: '72 Family Hauler

For the price of repops, I’d go tubular. PB is super nice, if you can wait. Get the 1” forward for visual centering and added caster. They also work with coils or bags for options down the road.

Re: Project: '72 Family Hauler

After much consideration, I ended up going with some CPP repop factory style lowers from Summit. These came powder coated and with new cross shafts installed for the low price of 279. As much as I really wanted to go with tubular PB arms, I just couldn't justify the cost for my family hauler. If this was a frame dragger or a pro touring build, I probably would have forked out the cash. The good news is, the money saved will go towards an LS this summer! I still have the upper arms to paint/rebuild and reassembly will start. I threw a wheel on a block of wood just to see how it looks. I can't wait to get this back on the ground.
