Replacement C3 trailing arms

[Michael L.]

I'm looking at getting some replacement trailing arms for my 69. With the shape mine are in, I'm not convinced they can be rebuilt at a reasonable cost. I need the whole setup with rotors, e-brake, everything. Does anybody have any recs on who sells the best complete trailing arms? This will be for a judged car.

Mike,

I got mine for my 67 from Paragon. They were the whole setup with new riveted on rotors, p-brake, ready to just bolt on. Nearly 100 % correct,
I got the later larger lugs for the strut's on the bearing housing. You can order them with or without the holes for a rear stabilizer

Pretty pricey, but I got them within a week. They actually came from Ikerd's. I think Bair's also has the same deal.

Pretty happy with the one's I got.

Thanks guys. I just called and ordered a set from Ikerds. I used Bair's for my control arms and was happy, but I called Ikerds based on Gerard's recommendation and on the spur of the moment I ordered a replacement set from them. I got them for $325 each with new rotors riveted on and complete p-brake setup. I have to send mine in for a $200 core charge each, but I'm not emotionally attached to them.

Wonder why Bairs and Ickerd's set up together at swap meets? I think that Yogie is the source for the arms.
