Ball Joints

Hi all,
Happy Pre-Thanksgiving! I have hit a road block on my 61....BALL JOINTS ugh, I have had uppers and lowers on order for over 6 weeks from CPP, they keep telling me they are on back order (the lowers) I have called around and cannot seem to find lowers anywhere, does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Ball Joints

Correct The 60-62 are a breed apart.
Lowers are bolt on,uppers are riveted on from the factory and bolted on when replaced.
