control arms

Has anyone used the control arms from CPP. Also how do these affect the ride or handling of your truck? Any pictures would help. Thanks oldno7

Re: control arms

One of my good friends just rebuilt his front suspension and used the CPP upper Control Arms. He said that his truck has never driven better. Here is a picture:

Re: control arms

Could those be used as a direct replacement on a stock 69 with drums? No drop?

Re: control arms

That's what I'm looking for (pretty sharpe) These are suppost to be direct replacments. I think they should work on your 69. I would get ahold of CPP just to make sure. I'm not positive, but I think the tops are 280.00 or so and the bottoms are 400.00 or so. These are going to be part of my project! oldno7

That's good to know. I have a complete set of upper and lower control arms that I haven't installed yet. I also purchased their tubular trailing arms and cross bar also.

Re: control arms

I don't mean to highjack, but has anyone used Performance Onlines upper control arms? They've got them listed for $229.00.
