I don't know on the A-arms, maybe look at Camburg?
http://www.camburg.com/chevysprod.html
Baja customs? (scroll down to about bottom of page for 88-98 fullsize parts, they look pretty slick):

Or, if you can figure out what shape you need them to be, could ya get them custom fabbed by a shop in your area?
What year Chevy? 2wd? 1500?
How much ya lookin to spend?

I'm at Wyotech too, just started chassis fab as well! Good luck man, sounds like a fun project!

wow im must say what a suprise im not the only guy on here that was a tecker to. camburg is probably one on the best ways to go. i went to school with a guy from vegas who had built the same type set up you are talking about. if you want more info on it just pm me and i will send you in the right direction.

thanks for the help guys. i am just trying to price out a project right now, it will be a 2wd 1500 chevy 1996 to 2002, around there. i am trying to see if it is even possible to do. i am trying to do it on a very tight budget. everything for prerunners is so exspensive. if anyone has hook ups on parts that would be awesome too. what wyotech campus are u at 87blazer?
