I would say Bill Turner but you will have to wait for parts and you can never get ahold of him. I might start making my own for these trucks.

Ouch! I thought Bill Turner was doing so great with his new frames and crossmembers. What happened? I was thinking about getting that crossmember from him for my '70.

Turner actually started out as a great guy. I bought over 2k worth of parts from him. He took way to long to get things to you and now he cannot be reached. I sent him a set of airbags in which he offered to switch out for another style for me. Well that was over 6 months ago. I got burned for about $150 and got no call or reply. I call him atleast one time a day 5 days a week and get no answer or call back after leaving a message. I dont even care about the bags now I just want to know why he F'd me after I spent so much money with him.

Chassis engineering, Fatman Fabricatoins, and Heidts are all reputable companies with excellent products. Good luck on your project.

I am by now means defending Bill. But from what I understand Bills wife had to have surgery, and has been in the hospital. I have bought alot from him and he is slow to build and ship. Keep in mind alot of the items he builds he customizes for his customers application. He seems to be knowledgeable and parts have been good quality. He also seems to be ahead of others with new and different items. I have had the best luck with e-mail.

Tubular

Do any of you American Guyz know the story behind Chisholm Enterprises out of California?????? Years ago, they were in every "truck" mag. I bought a complete front suspension set-up from them, including tubular upper and lower A arms and then POOF!!! they disappeared?????

Stylinconcepts out of Ohio carries DJM suspension parts. I put them on my 72' and it looks sweet! Lots of good reviews on the DJM line. Stylinconcepts has the best price

You keep telling us this but you haven't given us any details, pricing, indication of functionality or quality, etc. Let us know this kind of information and you may have more orders than you can stand.

ART says they have control arm pieces in house and ready to jig up and weld. Figure 2 weeks for weld and powder coating.

Also, they expect to price these things today.
