Do any of our vendors build anything similar to CPP's version of this?

http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...ck/6372LDL.htm

I'm interested in one of these, but would prefer to buy from a board vendor.

jlaird · 02-04-2009, 07:06 PM

Doesnt Nathan have something similar to this as part of his rear kit?

68 short step · 02-04-2009, 07:22 PM

ECE has one, dont think they are a vendor on here tho.....is CPP no longer a vendor on here???? they suck, so i dont blame you for wanting to go with someone else

Tell them to build you one!!

There are some awsome fabricators here.

I guess you just did....

bdydrp97s10 · 02-04-2009, 09:53 PM

modify your stock one... if you know how to weld

Rokcrln · 02-04-2009, 10:03 PM

I have used ECE's on several builds and it is a very nice piece. Ask for Stan he will hook you up.

There should be a photo surfacing here shortly (matter of days) that is crystal clear!

The "blurry" one alluded to was taken on the same roll of film as Big Foot and the Locnest Monster.

FnLow69 · 02-05-2009, 01:31 AM

i bet you could sell those photos of big foot and lochness monster to a british tablod(sp)

Will stock trailing arms work with your set up Nate?

02-05-2009, 10:08 PM

can't wait to see a pic! i've been needing one of these

Kayotic · 02-05-2009, 10:24 PM

x2 on the trailing arms

- I have ECE's complete rear setup with bags(xmember,arms,shock relocate,track bar,re-7's)

Nate, you keeping something from us?

**lolife99** · 02-06-2009, 12:18 AM

I'm interested in a Porterbuilt trailing arm crossmember, for my "budget suspension" build on my '69 swb. (if that's possible,...)

PBFAB.COM · 02-06-2009, 01:28 AM

As mentioned, you will be seeing this SOON....

It will have a couple cool features no one else is doing... yet!

texastrendz · 02-06-2009, 09:26 PM

i hope the suprise is that it allows you to use a two piece drive shaft. that would be so simple, and solve alot of drive shaft issues.

Frizzle Fry · 02-07-2009, 12:42 AM

I'd be shocked if it didn't have some form of wheel centering adjustment built in. Just guessin here...

I don't think we have (I wouldn't let the cat out of the bag if we had). I just know how you think. That'll be a nice problem solver.

*Shane* · 02-07-2009, 10:09 AM

So when is it gonna be available for sale? I like what I'm hearing, but need to buy one fairly quickly.

jholley · 02-07-2009, 02:27 PM

Here is a pic of ECE's peice.

RunninLo · 02-08-2009, 12:27 AM

How about a plain jane that only serves to tie the frame and hang the carrier bearing for someone that say has a DM with no need for factory 2 link provisions? something like that would make a hell of a companion piece to the aforementioned DM rear.
