Just got gone adding on a rear coil over kit to my car and no longer need the parts I took off. Once you go coil over, you never go back. Anyway, here is a list of parts and pictures of the parts. However, some of the parts may be a bit questionable and that is why the low price. Everything was rebuilt by me and has about a thousand miles on it and was working fine until my spindle broke and I went all new.
1. Left and right trailing arms
a. Left trailing arm has a broken spindle in it and the back side of it got a bit chewed up when the spindle broke. Has new trailing arm bushings, SS parking brake components, and
was powder coated. I have not taken it apart yet to see what will need to be replaced yet. You can have it with or without the new rotor. See pictures. 100.00
b. Right trailing arm is fine. However, the bearings did not press in when I rebuilt it. Not sure if I got the wrong ones, or just worn out, but it should be rebuilt for peace of mind on this. Also, on my car, it aligned okay, but all the shims were all on one side. You can have it with or without the new rotor as well. 125.00.
2. Composite leaf spring with 8" bolts. I have no idea the spring rating on it as I picked it up used. There is a manufacturer stamp on it and the number 95 as well. It fit on my big block 68 and picture showing the ride height. 100.00. Sold to Don's 70 Vert.
3. A pair of rear Bilstein shocks. 30.00. Sold to SPCL FX.
4. One set of brake lines, SS flexible lines. 25.00 for pair.
I priced this stuff out just to get rid of it as it will just collect dust in my already very filled garage.
Am hoping for a local pick up, but I saved the Van Steel boxes and can ship.

Reason: update sale.
Shameless bump.
Still have the trailing arms, but each box weighs 57lbs. Was quoted at 112.00 per box to ship.
Will take 350 shipped to the lower 48 for both.
Anyone? Offer?
Now 300.00 shipped to lower 48 for both trailing arms.
So, you would be getting the powder coated trailing arms with new bushings installed, A pair of rotors stainless steel parking brake hardware, one good spindle, and a pair of stainless steel flexible brake lines.
Price for local pick up in North County San Diego would be 100.00.
Anyone, Bueller?
Not at all. I got a new set of offset trailing arms with new spindles from Van Steel. Also converted it all to coil over shocks. I did have to get a new/different set of brake lines as the ones from Van Steel did not fit on my car. Not there fault and was able to return them for a credit on the front set. Very simple swap on the coil overs. Welding the new upper shock reinforcement was the hardest part. You don;t have to do this, but it is an added peace of mind thing for me anyway. Only real issue I had was the knuckle head who bought my composite spring claimed it did not fit and demanded his money back. Not wanting to be "that guy" I refunded his money. He then asks me how to install it. The nerve of some people.
Good luck with yours and I can post some pictures if needed. But all in all, a very easy swap and after it gets aligned, will post up about the ride difference.
We sincerely appreciate the speedy reply sir. My son is a welder so we would likely follow the same path you did for the reinforcement as we plan on doing some autocross once we are converted. The picture would be greatly appreciated, at your leisure of course. In regards to the brake lines where did you end up sourcing those from? Shaking my head about the knucklehead story but I would have done the same thing if I were in your place. One would think he would have asked about the install steps before hand though, sigh!

Got the brake lines at a local hydraulic shop I used when I did the hydro boost system for my brake master cylinder. He does a lot of off road stuff out here in SoCal and just took him my fittings and length's and he basically said hold my beer and watch this.
