Otsenre pays it forward

Last summer, I picked up a set of trailing arms from him at a very fair price. They have now been refurbished, and live on under Grandpa's truck.

Pic #1 Operate until failure, replace as necessary

#2 arms separated, cleaned, reassembled with new upper/lower plates cut on a CNC-plasma machine, and sealed up.

#3 Ready for another 50 years' service.

For my part of the pay it forward, I'll provide the drawings that were used to drive the CNC if you want to make your own 3/4T plates. I have them in AutoCAD and PDF.

Good deal. That's what makes this board so great.... I would take them in PDF. I am going to change my '67 Dually over to coil springs and I want to beef up a set of arms.... I will PM my e-mail address.

Thanks,
LockDoc

That's great, I have a pair that need some work. Did you use 1/8" or 3/16"?
