Can anyone identify these offset trailing arms?
They were used to mount a corvette rearend and suspension on a street rod ...Do they look correct for my 68 vette ? No better pictures to go by . I,m buying off ebay for $116 for this amount I,m willing to roll the dice on them ...Whatta you guys think see anything major wrong with them ...If not maybe I,ll have a friend weld up any thing needed to make em work

they look very similar to STOCK 
Buy the right one's from VBP or VANSTEEL
Could be homemade
compare that picture to a real offset,
and you'll see the difference
The rear spring mount is a weak point

I have a set of the Van Steel/VHP offset trailing arms and also a set of Tom's Differential offset trailing arms. Don't recognize any resemblance of these arms with the photo. (I had to make a quick trip out to the garage to looke at the Toms Differential arms) Also, the arms in the photo do not appear to be Guildstand offset arms.
