Was planning to build some offset lower control arms to pick up the stock cat frame horns. As it turns out. The stock cat brackets are actually narrower than the A body, AND they are fairly easy to remove. Drill out two rivets, cut some cheezy factory welds and apply some persuasion with a BFH and they are free. The replacements are simple angle iron. This weekend saw me build the new lower arms using some generic poly bushings. Pictures show everything fitted and the frame mounts ready to weld in place. Next step is fabrication of the upper arms and brackets. Stay tuned.
