I'm currently in the process of making adjustable trailing arms for both lc-lj and lh-lx. Looking at selling for $500 for a complete set. Powder coated with bushes. Would anybody be interested in these??

As for uppers, you can use adjustable Chevelle ones from here (For LH/X for sure at least) and they run pretty cheap with lots of brands to choose from...

Something to think about at least.

He is a Septic Tank.

Just one with taste (Torana Hatch) and very handy as he is able to ship just about anything you want from Apple Pie land.

It lists Kingswood and Torana fitment, I thought the HQ arms were longer than the Torana ones?

I can confirm that LH/LX upper fit LC/LJ with no mods, Lowers are identical but LC/LJ have the spring mount on them....If your running coilovers then LH/LX will fit fine.

Cheers.

'68 to '72, these are the ones I got:

(need a touch of clearancing with die grinder for standard Torana mounts on diff)

You need to get adjustable ones as the standard Chevelle length is not quite the same as Torana (make sure its not a really small amount of adjustment, a few are like that)

I used the Edelbrock on mine, fit great as they were....think edelbrock sold out thier suspension line though since they don't show them any longer. But lots of companies doing them. (some look better quality than others of course)

Cheap to ship of course too being pretty small.

I had heard that QA1 bought out the Edelebrock suspension line, but didn't know for sure...that sounds like it makes it pretty well sure though.

Is it "Still Illegal" to booby trap one's workshop / garage ??? Cause if not then maybe you should go buy some cheap S.C.A. hand tools and leave them in plain view......
