Narrowed control arms

[lcfman]

No response on another forum so I will try here. Are there any narrowed control arms available for square body front suspension?

Made my own with a Metabo. Little cut here and a little cut there.

Thanks for the reply Kim. Can you describe your process for narrowing the a arms as it appears no narrowed a arms are available (hard to believe).

1) i think this company has them:
http://www.fatmanfab.com/

About 1.5" narrower?
You'll have to search around in there or call them because i don't have time to provide direct links.

2)

He's lengthening rather than shortening, but the concept is the same.

3) i wondering if S-10/G body arms could be used as i'm pretty sure they are shorter than full size truck arms? The holes probably won't line up, but new holes could be drilled. Shouldn't be too hard? The outer tie rod ends may have to be shortened, but that's not super hard (i hope?).

4) pretty sure there are other companies with shortened arms, but don't got no time to look right now......

You may be able to try Benchmark Fab in Corvallis Oregon. He did mine. Probably a 1 inch narrowing upper and lower. Lowers were boxed and trimmed. Mine were done to increase wheel clearance.
