My truck
I bought this 72 c20 350 4spd I like it alot when I drove it home it drove great still runs like a top it bt shorlty after I bought it the rear trailing aroms broke which also broke the rear yoke on my rear section of my drive shaft, I have started by removing the front part of the broken drivers trailing arm and trying to cut the stubborn u bolt holding the remaing peice this has proven difficult. any advice If I can get them to upload I will post the pics I have of my truck and the broken parts. I do plan to replace the doors but im using the bondo to tempoarily patch them while I look for an affordable replacement

Re: My truck
that trailing arm looks nasty ,find a used one to replace it with. a lot of guys on here weld them up to stregthen them ,I plan on doing the same . I had to heat the nuts up on the u bolts and put an impact on them to get them off. if you have to cut them off and buy new ones.
