One more question. Do you know if 1973 control arms (a friend has a set laying around) are they same as control arms from later c10 trucks?

To the best of my knowledge they are the same from '73-87 on C10 pickups(late '87,88 was new body style.) However they are the same up to 1990 for 2WD 1/2T suburban, 3/4T and 1T 2WD trucks will also interchange from '67-'90 or maybe even 1991. I know somewhere before the '64 to 66 model, the lower control arms are different on the 3/4t and 1 ton than the '67 and up.
