64 Lower Control Arm, Replacement Needed

Hi Guys,
I need a little advice please, I've just removed the control arm bushes from my 64 C10. One of the passenger side lower bushes was worn and split and the hole ine the control arm is worn oversize. I will need to find a replacement but living in England my choices may be limited.

My question, am I limited to 1963/64 control arms or will arms from other years fit? I reckon the more options I have, the greater my chance of finding one

Many thanks

Lower arms from a '63 thru '72 should work for you.

I have everything out the front of my 66 if you need an a arm. One thing to think about is doing the disc brake conversion. That ups your choices to the 73 to 87 a arms. If you look at the disc conversion thread you can get lots of mere detailed information.

You can use a-arms from 1963-1987 trucks (-91 suburbans).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
