What is this called? when can I get one?

1970 c10

This bracket is rotted and i would like to replace it.

It mounts the upper A-arm to the crossmember as well as the frame.

The mount is currently riveted on. Here are some pictures.

I looked around on the more popular parts sights and couldn't find it. If someone knows where to find it I would greatly appreciate a link.

Thanks for your time.

You aren't gonna find anyone who reproduces this part. You'll have to find one in a junkyard or someone who is selling a frame or parting out a truck.

That's the upper a-arm/crossmember bracket. It is not a remanufactured part. You'll need to find another crossmember to get your needed part. See if you can find someone scrapping a crossmember or hit the wrecking yards & have them cut one off a truck out there.

Drill/knock the rivets off of yours.
Drill/knock the rivets off of the 'good' extra.
Bolt the good extra onto your crossmember.

Can't help you on your local JY scene.
The 63-72's will be the closest fit but 73-87's would prob work too since the entire c-member will swap over. I do know the 1/2 ton cross-members have 1/2" studs for the upper a-arms; the larger 3/4 & 1-tons utilize 9/16" studs. You want that part from a 1/2 ton.

I'll make a suggestion too.... Subscribe to the board & post a WTB ad (want to buy) in the classifieds. It's $25 & there's prob a member out there who would ship you one off an extra x-member. Shipping should be minimal through the usps priority pkg system since it's small enough to fit in one of their boxes.

Good luck.

I recommend asking the guys who have put drop members on their trucks. Somebody probably has one in their yard/garage that they're gonna throw away.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll subscribe to the form and post a WTB add.

The board members here are what makes this site great! I would have offered but I need the extra 1/2 ton crossmember I have for another board member & the only other 'extra' I have is from my dually w/the larger upper a-arm studs.
