Re: [AMC-list] Truck arms

[wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

FYI. This pair I bought weigh 17.5lbs.ea!
Your not going to beat that weight by much!  
    Just spent 6 hours on the roof putting heat strips on the north end of our dining room where ice dams formed.  Then replacing shingle tabs that left over the last couple of years. Roof looks good again. I won't be able to move tomorrow. Till 6. Then I am working Lewis Black!  Yay. 

  I got a case of wanting to ignore everything and start on the truck arms. I can't get over how nice they are and NOTHING is wrong with them!

Gimme a mig. I want weld something!!!

That's exactly what I was planning! Unless you are going to put the car 
super low you shouldn't have to channel anything in. Remember, there had 
to be clearance underneath for the strut rods on the axle, and the truck 
arms will be a bit lower than those.

I may make my own crossmember, been thinking sometimes it is worth
spending a few bucks to be quicker and just general knowledge the
weld quality will be there when it comes to the truck arm tabs!

If I build my own Truck arm mounts I'm guessing that aiming
the theoretical meeting point right at the torque tube meets trans
point will keep the angles and center of gravity pretty much as-is.

Like I was saying, if you make yours on The Ambassador you can probably 
get them
as long as about 65"s and make the crossmember a bolt in to the original
crossmembers mounting points which are very sturdy!

I think mine will end being channeled into the floor like most
front to rear frame connectors get put in.
