Tubular A-Arms
 

has anyone installed tubular A-Arms on the 67-72 chevy trucks and if so what are some good companys to look in to. thanks

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.

I agree SAY NO TO TURNER. I would not send that guy another dime. He is a cheat liar and a theif.

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.

Wow. Thanks Phantom, I'll be spending money with some else, not Turner Enterprises.

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.

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?????

Roy

That's surprising..... I had always heard what a "nice guy" he was. I guess you can't judge a book by its cover.

Fatman Fabrications
 

I personnally recommend Fatman Fabrications, their engineering seems far superior. they focus on more than the belly-button street rods
just my $.02

Bolt-on...

I am not sure what happened to their "presence", but they are still in business. I purchased some drop leaf springs from his son (Steve) for my project. From what I gathered from him they were doing well and still in the business.

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

I've got upper/lower DJM tubular arms on my wifes 98 and they fit great and aligned to stock spec. :D

I just spoke with Aaron who is saying mid-October for production lowers. :banghead:

Note to self: Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue.

I can get them made!

What ever you do stay away from AIM/Chassis Tech. :crazy:

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.

I work for Macgyvers street rod products we will have some later this year.

As of today "mid-October" really means 'end of October' (slip slidin' away)

Hell, that's only about "2 weeks" away!

When u say AIM/Chassis Tech. is that the same as truckin suspension?I have some lifted tubular a-arms for my '69 from them and they seem fine..although i think their tech line sucks?What dont u like about them?

Yes, AIM operates under quite a number of dba's.

From the BBB--

This company also does business as:
A.I.M. INDUSTRIES;
AIM;
AIM - AMERICAN INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING;
AMERICAN INNOVATIVE MANUFACTURING and
PRO TOP.

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.
