yeah, my rear axle is an 86 trans am with the torque arm boss on the punkin

I am very much a diy type, but I want a clean finished look also. This part will be highly visible due to the amount of lift the truck has, and not sure if I’m keeping it or selling it to help fund my 47 gmc and 53 Buick builds. I think round tube, notched with bushing ends welded in so it can unbolt from the rear end for who knows why...if I keep this truck, I’ll likely upgrade the axles to 1-tons, so I want that to be somewhat of a straightforward swap as well. Also considering if an axle gets bent or damaged in any other way where the housing needs to be replaced, it’s just a matter of welding new brackets and shock mounts on the new axle and that’s it.
