Any Trailing Arm Gurus ? Help !

Howdy,

OK, the parking brake / emergency brake issue is now temporarily solved and I am OK with the results.

Because of the extensive rot and rust in the trailing arms, brake components, cables, and other bits and pieces, I think it just might be easier to swap out the entire trailing arms on both sides.

I have a set still on my skeleton of a parts car which is a nice southern rust free car ... that which is left ...

The swap looks straight foward to me. Actually, it looks incredibly simple.

Any one ever swap these out ? Is it just a straight foward swap ? I have access to a lift and jacks, et cet. I am concerned about unscrewing the parts from the Sleeper since the rust looks thru and thru and its everywhere, but it might be OK to take that gamble.

So, any trailing arm guru's out there ? The parking brake gurus certainly helped me fix my parking brake issue. 4x's was a charm on that one.

Thanks again and thanks in advance.
