Tubular arms for 73-87 Chevy?

[MattM1683]

Darren,

On a recent post you just did about a suburban, you said that they make tubular arms for 1973-1987 Chevy trucks (Fatman Fabrications). I was wondering........I have the coolride kit up front on my 1985 Chevy truck, would that transfer over to the tubular arms? or would I have to get the shockwaves? How much lower will my truck get with the tubular arms? Thanks!

I' m not sure that they make OEM replacements. I think they have a Mustang II crossmember that lets helps you get down. But you will need all the other MII parts. Give them a call and see what they say.
We are gearing up to build a bundle of new control arms though. I not exactly sure what is on the list though.

Darren,

Maybe I' ll wait and see what you guys decide to make. If your making OEM tubular arms for 73-87 Chevy trucks, then let me know ASAP! Would my coolride transfer over? or would I need the shockwaves? Thanks for the quick response

IF we do it for those trucks it would probably be just coolride since the shock mount is already mounted outboard. Just my opinion though.

I would be interested in a pair myself. My lower control arms touch before anything else. What do you think they would run for a pair, and do you think by the end of this year art may have some for the 73-87' s?

DJM makes control arms for your setup- Also Turner Enterprise makes some that move the mounting point- check him out he is in streetrucks mag. The are like 300 too.
