to make your own steering arms

[hammerhead]

Shame on you Poser...
that is way to clean...
you're supposed to go wheelin' once in a while with that thing...
what do you think it is?...
an 80 or something?

Thanks, I stand corrected. The double arms I made for my D60 axles are flat and made of T100 steel. I would hate to have to even try to bend that stuff.

Unless you are doing something, not available, why bother? Every time I look, the price is down on them, I have less than $250 in my Hi Steer, all new 1 ton GM ends and used components everwhere else.
Found a guy going to Dana 60 up front and loaded up

Where's the good price on 40 steering arms with a GM taper, Butch? I'm ditchin' my heims.

Bought mine used from somebody here or Pirate, they are RockBuggy Supply, his whole kit is around $400, I have bought 3 of them for customers rigs, one was a D60 only ones I have personally used

poser, what did you shape yours with?
those are some pretty clean lines.

By hand, with a vertical DoAll, and a belt sander...

Thanks Hammerhead.

That is a customers truck that has 765 miles on it since 2000.....

He hopes to put a few hundred more on while we are in the Black Hills in a week...


Good luck!
