Default Trailing Arm Rebuild in Denver Area?

I'm rebuilding my suspension and pulling my trailing arms this weekend. I was going to ship them off to get rebuilt but the shipping cost is pretty high so I was wondering if anyone can recommend someone in the Denver area?

Thanks,
Roscoe

Another option is the Corvette Center a little south of Colorado Springs.

Thanks, It looks like I'll probably go with Van Steel. Their prices are reasonable and they come highly recommended. All local places are more expensive and don't seem to want the work.

I received my Offset Trailing arms from Van Steel and they look great! I also bought the complete front and rear suspension kits from them and I have to say Paul and Dan are great to work with. The front suspension is done and I'm going to start on the rear this weekend if the weather man is correct.

Thanks for the Van Steel recommendation!

Roscoe, I shipped my 68 trailing arms to Van Steel with the hope that they could be rebult. That was not cheap coming from (and to) California. The arms were seriously thrashed and the best option was to go with new offset arms and salvage what they could from the old ones. They are beautiful and I should be bolting them on soon. Point being is that the Van Steel crew were very helpful and informative and took time to explain things to me and it was clear they knew what they were talking about. I would not hesitate to use them for a second (and did I had them rebuild my control arms too and those should be going on even sooner!)

I can imagine what your shipping cost was. I was going to send mine in to get rebuilt but after calculating the shipping cost ($125 each way) and the possibility of putting on bigger tires, I went with new offset trailing arms. I can still send in my old ones and get a core refund.

The new ones sure look pretty don't they!
