Yes, the control arms (bars that connect rear axle to the frame) are the same.....my LMC catalog has the same PN for the arms from 67-72, and C10 and C20 truicks

I think he is talking about the A-arms on the front. Yes, and no. The uppers are the same. The lowers on a drum truck will work if you replace the drum ball joints with disc ones. The difference in the lowers is in the steering stop. The drum lowers have a different steering stop than the disc ones. If you use drum lower arms on a disc conversion, you will have a slightly wider turn radius. They will work though.
