Anyone ever heard of these? They look like Reids but yellow.
(I have Reids on my 60 but might be a good option for someone)

Yellow aside, it is a carbon copy of a Reid product. It even states some of Reid's description of product. They then say it is better made than Reid. A pair from Reid is $500+. Probably powder coated in USA.

Does EWO have a web site? Do you have a web site? Your saying something does not make it so. Convince me .
greatautodeals:

EWO is our house brand, we make all our products in US and Canada. We are the largest sellers of the high steer and crossover parts and typically any product bought from any website or distributors goes out from our warehouse.
You can buy with confidence whatever you may wish to buy !!!!
Thanks

We do not have a website because that would conflict with our distributors, we have a 100% feedback on eBay and we take good care of our customers and sell quality products.
If you are not convinced we also have Reid Knuckles we sell for much higher, both products are high quality.
Thanks

I want to know why the Fu** can't anyone make me a pitman arm that is broached for a 4wd box. These crossover 2wd arms must be an application for another vehicle. If it was specific to crossover setups, why didn't they just broach it for a 4wd box. All this talk of custom parts....

cause 4x4 box turns the wrong way .
 
The box doesn't turn the wrong way, the arm just cant be clocked due to the pinch bolt. If a custom arm was made a 4x4 box would be fine for crossover.

I would guess that the EWO knuckles are coming out of the same foundry making the Reid knuckles. Someone cut a deal to offer them as a different brand name,
 
I don’t know anything about the 60 stuff, but my 44 Reid knuckle has “Reid” cast into it.
 
The pictures on their ebay store show the Reids and the EWO. The Reid does have "Reid" cast in it, also R or L depending on side. The EWO looks very similar but does not have "Reid", it does have R or L cast in the same location as the reid knuckle. The Reids look a little nicer finish wise but it could just be the pictures.
 
I think we will see more companies getting in to these custom parts in the coming years. The price of a front 60 in the west has really gone crazy over the last couple years. I just saw a guy trying to get $2500 for a gm DRW 60/14b set in the rockies. They were all worn out too, that's nuts. Total junker non running CUCV's are selling well over $3000 in places too. If a reasonably priced 60 housing was available aftermarket I think lots of people would skip buying a core to rebuild. A lot of guys are buying everything but the housing new when they build a 60 anyway. There seems to be a gap to fill between the junkyard and a full custom unit like from Dynatrac or others. There are only so many 60s out there and they will slowly get used up.
