There's companies that make arms, check to see what Rob from No Limit offers and RideTech comes to mind as well. Michigan Metal will make custom arms (and uprights for that matter) www.michiganmetalworks.com
RideTech makes a complete coil over suspension for the '63-'72 Chevy Trucks. I believe that the front set up is also offered separately.
