No, I just cut the head of the bolt off but while doing that I put a pretty deep gouge into the front half of the clamp thing but the long arm parts are fine.

I guess Jim has first dibs, but I'm interested in the spring perches.

I have to look again to make sure I can get away with what I'm thinking of. Since I would have to get other end caps I can pick up the spring perches at the same time. If Steinberg can use the perches he can have them. I would need the arms with shock mounts/panhard with mount and any frame brackets you might have.

cool man, I appreciate it.

Jim, I have seen a number of successful rear radius arm setups. I recall a whole thread on pirate dedicated to ford coil rears that had a lot of radius arms in it.

I have a set of radius arms from a 77 F-150 taking up space. $50 and they are yours. It has been a while since I looked at them, but I know they have the spring pads still on them.
