I have tried all the usual suspects with no luck, Filling Station has them listed but on backorder and no ETA. Apparently they are different from the 55 1st on back arms which are available like everywhere. None on EBay. Thanks,

I talked to the Filling Station guy again after your post and he indicated he does have a vendor for reproduced 55 2nd up arms, and they do have a stock part number and entry on their parts list, but no surprise they are on back order - probably very few requests. For now I'll just go to parts wanted and see if something turns up. Thanks --
Dale

Call them and see, maybe they can help.

Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 283 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 283 | Took a little while, but Jim Carter came up with a used arm from their used parts department. Got a call from them saying they thought they had one. Called Arnold (their used parts guru) back - he went through his bins of transmission arms and found the one marked "L" for left and numbers (two sets of numbers, one on each end of the arm) all matched. Little bitty part of a truck, but hard to find, and thanks to Jim Carter and Arnold, their used parts guy, and thanks for all the tips and offers of help from this family as well. Back in service.
