Using P30 lower control arms on C20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

If this has been posted before I can't find it.
Has anyone tried to use the lower control arm DORMAN 520-183/184.
It shows for use on mainly P30 but also 1981/82 C30/C3500 Pickups

It appears to be the heavier C20 (versus C10) Ball Joint and would eliminate the 2 U-bolts holding the shaft to the cross member, wouldn't have to worry about setting the shaft correctly.

I can't find anyone selling just the shaft except one place asking $150 each just for the Shaft. The entire control arm is selling on Ebay/Amazon for around $53.

Any thoughts, experience
