Ken,
You might check Industrial Metal Craft in Las Vegas. A R&C article mentioned they make both mild and SS, split or stock. Here's the article - scan down to the paragraphs "New Bones".

Ken,
There was a post on HAMB back in 2009 asking if IMC was out of business, saying they could not get a web link to work, but there was no definitive answer. Hope you find what you're looking for at a reasonable price.

When Dan gets home from work tonight I'll ask him.........somehow he has the most obscure sources and products cataloged in his head. I think he and I discussed the SS wishbones one time, so he might know.

That's the guy I talked about above. If you don't reach him on your trip over let me know while you're still there in town. He's supposed to have a set or two still available, but has quit making them otherwise.............................unless like I said, if there's sufficient motivation.

Don - It's called youth No hijacking intended



Uncle Bob - 10-4 Thank you

Ken I ran into the same info but did find this:
Industrial Metal Craft
Place page

4715 West Harmon Avenue
Las Vegas, NV 89103-5215
(702) 873-8664

Ken, I spoke to Dan and he remembers them, they had two versions. One was just like a regular wishbone and the other had a hole in it for the tie rod to pass through. He has that info in his computer somewhere and will try to dig it out. I'll keep you posted.

On another note, my tires from Coker showed up today. The 8 inch Firestone rear slicks are perfect for the rpu, and I like them even better than the 10 inchers I had on the 23. My fronts came too, so as soon as I get my rear rims back from the powdercoater I can get them all mounted. I was impressed that they got here this fast. I placed the order Tuesday and they showed up today, Thursday. I used my HAMB Alliance discount and saved $110.00! That is about 10%.

Tomorrow my plans are to start beveling the cuts on the front frame rails so I can get those welded up. My 34 axle should be here any day now.....anxious to see that one come.

Hi guys today I was visiting one of my rodder friends in the big smoke (Auckland) and was tell him about this conversation on stainless split bones and he told me to get your to try "Fatman's Eng" . That is what he remembers as the name of a hotrod fabrication business up there that sold S/S bones and had two types,normal or with lightening holes done probably. Steve, my friend used to spend our winter up in LA building hot rods for a wealthy movie studio guy so got to know where to source stuff from. I hope this is some help guys.

Whip, I looked at Fatmans site, and while they make some ss parts I didn't see any wishbones. But it looks like Ken has found the one that did carry them, Industrial Metalcraft in Las Vegas. That is from the Rod and Custom article.

Good luck, Ken, hope you score a pair.

Don,
How did that counter rotating cutter work for you? I saw them at the COSTCO store here in KC a couple of days back and wondered if it worked or not?
