Your TC rods bolt to the underside of the LCA. You could make a mount, but you could probably just cut an inch or two out of your stock TC rods and put right and left threads on them. Put some lock nuts and a turnbuckle on them. I did it to some 510 rods years ago....there's a thread on here about it.....probably just search tension rods. If you want better brakes, just swap in HB spindle assemblies. Not sure what other parts you'd need/want from me. Thank you....I appreciate that. 🙂 Tension rod be for the 74, it already has your front brakes, uca bushing,kng pin pin. Later years, upper control arm and components. Quote Link to comment

I was looking into the adjustable arms for the UCA's, but the guy I sent the test parts to never got around to doing anything with them, so I'm having him send them back. I don't have the time or incentive to follow through on them now. Sorry. If I had a 620(ball joint) frame clip here, there's a chance I figure it out, but it would only be for my curiosity only since I would not be producing them. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm not positive at this point just how many....somewhere in the 4-6 range, but the reality is I might just save the one I have on hand for my wife's truck and just quit. lol Do we need an intervention here? 1 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted November 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Ah. I was just talking to a semi-local machine shop this morning....I might have them quote some of my parts. If I sub out the manufacturing, it will leave me with customer service and shipping.....two of the things I'm really looking forward to getting away from. 😞 lol 1 Quote Link to comment
