Re: [Amc-list] truck arms revisited

[farna@xxxxxxx]

The truck piece looks like a lot of work to put under an AMC, and the springs are in the "wrong" place. That would mean a lot of chassis work to support the weight of the car. The best bet I've seen is the "Hot Rods to Hell" "center drive" (truck arm) kit for G body GM cars. The springs are right over the axle like AMCs. It's easy to put air bags on a 63-66 big AMC anyway, keeping the original torque tube.

I've been kind of keeping an eye on truck arm stuff. Kind of on the back burner 
simmering mode.
I stumbled across a new setup from Air ride tech for 63-72 Chebbie trucks.
The lower arms, crossmember assemebly looks like and awesome starting point for  
mounting up a rear axle in a torque tube car! IIRC Airride is a Company that has 
been mentioned in some of the forums I've seen. They usually will sell their products piecemeal to crazy people 
to do one off things. The starting point of the kit is Like $1700. So you have 
been warned! The front crossmember looks to be one of the key ingredients needed 
to have room for an exhaust. They state that you can use the stock crossmember 
with their arms, so food for thought.
Go the link then open their link to the new piece for the 63-72 trucks.
