Re: Trailing Arms
68CHEBY, the "poor, pitiful me" routine is already played out... even after only "9 or 10 posts...." Nobody's "crucified" you but yourself. Nobody's called you a liar. Nobody's said we're not interested in a good deal. Nobody (except you) said low post count means you're a lesser contributor. You just came on the board and when someone pressed you ever so slightly on something you posted, you came unglued.

Re: Trailing Arms
All BS aside. Who's gonna pony up and try these out?
What's the difference between mono-ball bushings and the regular urethane? -Chris

Re: Trailing Arms
Also found this at stockcarproducts.com. They also have lowering blocks, pinion angle shims, and u-bolts.
![]() Can anyone verify the 51" measurement? My 'calibrated hand' says mine are more than 19lbs too...

This is all the info he provided when I responded; A CLAIM that you can buy trailing arms for 150 per set. I never realized that pointing out that someone made a claim to one thing or another was the same as flaming someone. How someone takes my 1st reply as a "flame job" is beyond me. There is a serious disconnect here. Quote:

Sweet an e-pissing match!!
![]() I think that even if they don't fit, it's still a helluva deal. Make 'em fit. ![]() My question for the guys at musclemotorsports is do you have the crossmember available too? I guess I could alway go with the SCR crossmember, which looks pretty danged nice anyway, but if these guys sell the TA for 25% of what the other cheapest place to get them from does, then how much is the crossmember too? I for one am thankful to God, my country, & 68cheby for aprising me of these trailing arms. Thank you, Buddy

Re: Trailing Arms
I would buy a set if I needed them and thanks 68CHEBY for trying to help some folks save some money. I have been in one of these pissing matches on a thread I started once too, some people just take things the wrong way and then they cool down. Keep posting ideas, finds, and questions. If I remember right this is what this site is for and not bashing folks for posting ideas, finds, and questions.

III. No pissing matches. Its fine to disagree, but once a thread has run its course, and degenerated into little more than an insult fest, it will be locked. While this will require a judgment call by the Administrators & Moderators. The members of this site can keep our moderating to a minimum by exercising a little discretion and self- control. Excessive profanity will lead to a 24 hour suspension at the Administrations discretion.
IV. Pure trolling, either to upset someone or simply for your personal enjoyment, is strictly prohibited. If you're here to cause trouble, it will be a very short stay. Immediate BAN and you will be reported to your ISP. |

Re: Trailing Arms
hey he is right !!! I have a set on my truck 72 swb they are the same length I'll measure mine tommorrow to be sure but I think they are 51.5 inches from center of bushing to centerline of the reaer end housing.
I work for a nextel cup team in concord nc. and have been working for nascar teams for almost 10 years now. the only thing you have to watch out for is the muscle motorsports place sells used parts. which is fine as long as you can see what your buying.. the thing with these truck arms is the left side normally has a big adjustable bracket welded to it for the panhart bar mount to. (no big deal I just cut mine off ). and they also have mounts for the shocks to bolt to. and some times one is shorter than the other . there are several things teams do to they truck arms to help with performance I suggest if you are going to buy a set go in person and inspect them. bring a tape measure and original one if you can . lay them side by side and compare ..like i said they do work if you get te right ones. you can also get two right side truck arms so you wont have to cut the mount off.. sorry for the long post just wanted to shed some light on this topic ... hope I helped... |

Re: Trailing Arms
slt0066,
I thought it was mentioned that the aforementioned parts were 'boxed'? Are those arms in your pic from the same place? Am I seeing the pic correctly because they don't look boxed.... they look like a reinforcement plate has been added? Curious if there's one source for the arms & different groups modify them according to their needs (some boxed, some plated).

Re: Trailing Arms
sweetness! i would think the panhard bracket would be a blessing as you wouldn't have to buy the $80 bracket from ECE. however i'm still up in the air on this sbuject. i'm starting to think the only way i'll be happy is with a custom one off frame with 2x3 trailing arms much like ECE is now selling. this hobby really is a curse.

Re: Trailing Arms
So would the panhard bar mount work with the super delux bar (or whatever CPP called the real long one I bought)? Mine has the bracket that slides onto to trailing arm and mounts to the stock frame mount for bagged trucks.
I like the looks of the tube arms myself, but square would make the most sense. |

Re: Trailing Arms
If NASCAR has been using these arms for years, why did it take so long for companies like early classic or CPP to come out with replacement trailing arms? And why do they look different than the ones used for NASCAR?
You would think that a company like early classic would ask the manufacturer of the NASCAR arms to make some with the correct brackets, etc. for our trucks instead of engineering their own.

Re: Trailing Arms
Hey...fun post...thought I'd add my $0.02 in...
Found a pic in Car and Driver (I know...it's not a truck, per se, but for purposes of discussion and adding to the knowledge base). Anyways, this pic is of the rear of the #19 Dodge from Evernham Racing ![]() It shows the fabricated trailing arms are not "boxed" in a traditional sense. They are reinforced with plate steel, at least on the bottoms. Can't see the tops. ![]() Anyways, it is one clean machine.
