F100 I-beams as trailing arms?

I bought a 40 front axle from a guy the other day, he asked I wanted a pair of I-beams. He told me the car he had recently bought had them as trailing arms... Anybody ever heard of this? He showed me the diff housing, they had welded c brackets around the axle tubes to bolt through the king pin end of each I beam.

Yes It's been done on here before. Cut off the axle mounting part and replace it.

 

Gross overkill...........

 

I've seen it done,,I wouldn't do it. HRP

 

IMHO too short. To be of benefit they need to be longer.
