    Source for SWB rear end

    Now that our beloved EASY is no longer (parts wise) can anyone recommend a source for acquiring a SWB rear end? I need the torsion tube, banana arms, trailing arms, axles, and brake assembly. The whole shabang!

    Also, I have a lead on a 77 torsion tube assembly; I'm wondering if that will work for attaching the SWB suspension components.

    I haven't called LA dismantlers yet, I wanted to see if anyone had another recommendation. I am located in Seattle.

    Thank you in advance,

    Thanks I saw that and I'm trying to recycle in the pursuit of saving costs. I have a lead on a 77 torsion tube. I'm wondering if that will work?

    I believe the trailing arm mounts are different.
