i dont think i have any pics anymore... but ill look..

No they dont just bolt up to it.. but its damn close.. its as simple as bolting or welding the cup to the lower control arm and then doing the bag to that.. and the top.. is seriously nothing more than an L bracket that im sure you can find ANYWHERE.. welding it to the frame.. making sure you have height etc.. then aligning it as low as you can align it.. and let 'er rip

Looking for pics now..

Thanks. Pics would really help. Can you attach a bag cup to the stock lower arm? With out welding? I can weld but not well enough to put my like in my welds.

well you HAVE to weld your upper bracket to the frame.. so.. you might as well figure on not worrying about the bottom.. i dont have pics anymore... sorry.. but the a arm part is simple.. the upper mount is the concern part..

LOL yeah if i do go with regular bags i wont be doing the welding. thats why i wonder about the bag bolting to the lca

Well thats what im telling you.. it doesnt matter if it bolts to the lca or not.. cause youre gonna have to have someone weld on the upper bracket anyway.. so spot welding a cup onto the lca IF it doesnt bolt up exactly where you want it, isnt that big of an issue.. get me.

It might bolt on.. i dont recall.. but if it does need welding on the the lca its simple simple shit.. like just spot welding it to keep it from sliding around.. but im thinking bolting it onto it was as simple as just drilling a single hole in the lca where you wanted the cup to go

Thanks for that. I'm surprised that there aren't more people going with bags. One thing I learned doing my '68 C-10 is that bags are the most versatile, best feeling, but probably also most expensive way to go. You can definitely bag all 4 corners for under $1000 though, and although bags do wear out over time, they are like $60 a piece to replace.


EDIT: Just realized that you linked to 67-72chevy trucks... that's where I learned to bag my '68!
