I can build a custom unit for you depending on your needs. It won't be the fastest turn around or the cheapest price but it will be a lot better then a stock rebuild.

If you need it fast then call Bair's, Van Steel, or Ikerds, They should be able to get you one pretty quick.

If you need any help, let me know.

Gary

Edit: I just saw you have an 81?, those I can't do much with. I work on the iron units and those are the ones I cna beef up much better then stock. The 80-82 aluminum units are not as strong and I believe you going to be limited to a stock type rebuild. The shops above will handle it.

I had my differential rebuilt by Van Steel, and they turned it around inside 1 week (a little over with shipping). I was so pleased that I now have a pair of rebuilt trailing arms from them as well ready to be installed!

I have a complete all aluminum with rods, batwing, yokes, composit spring, and with bushings in practically new condition. If you cannot get one, make me an offer I cant refuse. No exchange necessary.

My 1st choice would be Gary right here on the forum. Van Steel and Ikerds have provided the goods for me in past with great success.
