Yep. Are a-arms normally built with .120 or .188?

These things look great. Awesome welding skills on these. Keep up the fantastic work.

Im going to ask the same question I ask every one who is building C10 arms. Are you planning to make C30 Arms?

I know Nate has modified another manufacturers arms to be used on a 1-ton application and he has said I could get a set for my '89 square. so unless Nate wants to go on record with a "no" my guess he is already ready to go for the 1-ton option.

Depends who is building them. I am not certain of the other manufacturers' specs., but I beleive the other C10 arms available are either .188 or thicker.

Yes. I will be offering them for the 3/4 and 1 ton ball joints as well.

PBFAB.COM · 04-22-2009, 01:35 PM

Here's some weight comparisons (these are without cross-shafts, ball joints, and bushings):

Factory C10 lower arm: (73-87): 22.5 lbs.
ART lower arm: 16.5 lbs.
Porterbuilt lower arm: 13.5 lbs.

gringoloco · 04-22-2009, 01:53 PM

WOW! I was not expecting that much of a difference in weight. I was thinking a couple of lbs, but 9!

Put me in line for a bare set- no shafts or joints...

tvblazer78 · 04-22-2009, 02:07 PM

Wow! that is a big savings in weight. Looks good Nate.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-22-2009, 03:18 PM

Another awesome product from PB! Now I just need to finds something to put them on...........

jmedero · 04-22-2009, 04:02 PM

Rigo's 70 C10 · 04-22-2009, 11:24 PM

Nate,
how soon will you know the price? I got my crossmember, all i need now is the control arms. I loved the quality of the DM so much that i opted to wait until the release of these bad boyz!

Standing by.......

lowdownstar · 04-23-2009, 06:38 AM

Hey Nathan

Great job!!!! I can't wait till i see them on my truck!!! You already have them in the mail right?

Have a Great day

Ray

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-23-2009, 09:10 AM

ShowSS12 · 04-23-2009, 04:57 PM

HOLLY CRAP those are some very nice welds.. Time for me to get off my butt and practice TIG welding...

As far as the arms what will be the price difference between these and the steel ones? Do you make steel ones?

tds · 04-23-2009, 05:03 PM

PRUNEDA · 04-23-2009, 07:58 PM

Dibs!

Also, Nate, sent you an email a while ago. Maybe it got lost in what I'm sure is a VERY full inbox.

**lolife99** · 04-24-2009, 06:13 AM

Are the uppers any "longer" than stock uppers?
(for alignment reasons)

m6z · 04-24-2009, 08:14 AM

Nice. So who get's that set? I'm going to hold you to your 2 week timeline.
