Ready to convert my leaf sprung truck to trailing arm. what type of hardware do I use to bolt the crossmember to the frame? How about bolting the trailing arms to the cross member? Thanks

You can get the trailing arm bolts from several vendors. I have a bolt in cross member for my 65 and the bolts are 3/8 24 X 1 1/4 grade 8 with lock nuts. I'll have to look for the trailing arm bolts to get measurements off those so you could get them from a local fastener supplier.

Not kits but the replacement trailing arm bolts. LMC has the bolt, nut and washer.
