Hello there,
i wonder if anybody made contact with the reproduction trailing arms for Chevy trucks 60-72 from LMC or others.
Apparently it's the same product, just marketed by different companies.
I doubt it's the same quality (or better) than the original arms but i don't know for sure.
Did anybody use these on their truck?
Here's a link to the LMC part:

The price is steep but acceptable if the quality is good enough. But i would like to know that for sure before i put down 600 + shipping on a set.
I have a set of good-enough-for-a-restoration but i am not too sure if i would want to use them on my race truck because of the rust pitting they suffer.
Maybe someone could chime in on that topic as well? It's a large pic on purpose so the damage can be seen better. I fear they could crack at 170mph...
Plans are to double the number of welds and do the C20 reinforcement plating (2/3s plated underneath, 1/3 plated on top).
Thanks,
Alex
