Question Control Arms & Misc

I've been reading in other sections of the forums lately and someone mentioned that the C50 and C60 sheetmetal will bolt on to the the light duty series trucks. Those fenders have fender flares both big and small and it got me thinking about building a prerunner style 63-66 GMC. I'm actually building a three link with wishbone bone for my street truck that can easily be duplicated on another truck since the GMC's all had leaf springs [all that I've found anyway].
So do you know of an off road suspension company making a crossmember kit complete with arms to raise the front end unlike the dropmember kits the bagger guys use?

I really doubt I get an answer here but its worth a shot and no I don't want a 4X4 instead.


Thanks, Dan

Sounds like custom fab territory to me. would be sweet to do a long travel 60s truck.

Re: Control Arms & Misc

That's what I thought too, if it ends up being a build myself. I can weld with gas, arc and mig so anything can be done. Even if I could just find control arms it would help.
