WTB: 62 Lower Control Arm Cross Shaft kits

So, I am TRYING to keep my torsion bar front suspension on my 62 C10 short step side. I have ball joints, tie rods and disc brake spindles already, so I'm kind of committed to staying with the torsion bars. While removing the old ball joints I found some play in the lower control arm bushings. The bushings themselves are available (3762958/3842896 GM numbers), but I'd like to replace the shafts "while I'm at it"(3846349/3846350 GM numbers). My problem is I can't seem to find any kits available that aren't $200+ each! CPP and other vendors show them for about $90 but no one has them in stock and they can't tell me when they will get them. Does anyone have a pair of lower shafts or lower control arm kits that they'd be willing to part with? My right side has the noticeable play so at a minimum I'd like to replace that one. Let me know if you have something. Thanks

Re: WTB: 62 Lower Control Arm Cross Shaft kits

Still looking for options...

Can anyone confirm if this will work? Lists same GM part number (3846349) but shows an application for 97-99 P30:

"Lower Control Arm Shaft Kit 1997 1999 Chevrolet P30 1962 1966 Suburban 49L"

Picture looks correct... compatibility checker says "no" but seller says "yes, if they look the same they will work"

This is on the auction site - they also show the right side.

Thanks for any help.

Bob

Re: WTB: 62 Lower Control Arm Cross Shaft kits

Thank you for the offer but I've located lower arms with lower cross shafts in good condition. To answer your question - I think the answer is "yes", 60-62 Chevy & GMC 1/2 ton control arms and cross shafts are the same.
