Re: How to fix my split trailing arm...or should I replace?

Well, im still undecided. My neighbor is a welder by trade (used to do nuclear powerplants in Fl) and welds at a local air force base...i'll see if he cant do it soon otherwise i'll get a factory arm or find someone else that can weld.

thanks crusher! Id take ya up on it but my blue truck is my DD and I dont have another vehicle, id love to check out your truck(s) sometime!

I got it all tore down today. Im getting new u bolts for drop blocks, I got my panhard bar off the axle side, but cant drive the bolt out on the frame side? Any tips?

I think my stud comming off the axle got a little bent, MAYBE i'll post pics tomorow for you guys to see. And dad bought me the wrong carrier bearing today, but he picked me up a tranny seal. got it installed tonite,

things to do:
?trailing arm?
need a panhard/track bar
maybe rear axle
order my new u bolts
get my bedside off
find/install new bedside, Tim is helping me on this one, how much yall think it'll cost to ship a bedside from KS to TN? thanks!
