My 75 is at their shop now. 5 months ago they rebuilt the trailing arms and now they're rebuilding the diff. By the time they're done I should have new rear-end.

They do GREAT WORK !!!

Opinions often are different, but I have to agree- VanSteel is the BEST. Their parts/service is excellent, and Dan will always respond to queries to be sure you get it right.

I've done business with Van Steel since 1983, when they rebuilt the rear wheel bearings and struts in my '73. Last winter they rebuilt the A-arms in my '66.

First class outfit - straight shooters - no BS - quality work. In this business, you live and die by your reputation - they understand this and treat their customers right.

Just don't buy their suspension video thinking it will show you how to set up the rear bearings,as they lead you to beleave.
They simply show you how to take the trailing arms off and tell you to send them to VS along with a bucket of money.

This video is the only dealings that I have had with them.

Placed my first order with Van Steel last week for a set of bilsteins. The price was better than anyplace I've seen. Based on what I've read over the past year on the forum I had no reservations placing an order with them. Just looking forward to getting them on the beast when they arrive. We need more vendors like Van Steel!
