Default 64 trailing arms.

Can anyone tell me if 63,64 and 65-up rear trailing arms are interchangeble. can i mount the original drum brake setup on the 65-up arms. there are lot of rebuild 65-79 arms available but not the 63/64. I want to swap them out without having to wait for the rebuild time.
Thanks, Frank.

63-64 trailing arms are a little different due to the disc v drum changes to the parking brake brackets and the bumper stops. The 65 and up arm could work with a few mods. Why not just buy new 63-64 arms which are readily available? Pilot Dan

Call these guys. Great reputation with friends and Forum guys who have used them and they may have the 64's in stock. There is a difference between 63/64 and the 65 up due to the disc brakes. with Pilot Dan.

Glad it will work out for you. I hear their service is great although I've not experienced it yet. Good Luck with the project. Dave
