You can get a set of stout lower rear trailing arms for about 1/5 of that price.

Source for cheap boxed lowers? I also want adjustable uppers to adjust pinion angle of future OD transmission swap but I may just swap the boxed lowers For now.

Regarding adjustable uppers, see my thread here; I made my own.

The lowers I got are tubular but very heavy. Pontiacs are 22.5" center to center and 2 3/8" wide. (they have raised the price a little bit since I bought them)

Might as well weld the rear end to the frame if your going to use them.. If you could get spherical bushings in them then they would be worth it.. Buy some Currie Johnny Joints with the weld in bungs and make your own..
