The easiest way to go is 73-87 bars. They fit directly and are easy to source from junkyards.

I used one off an 85 Suburban on my 63.

Is that bar you used off a 4wd or a 2wd?

Those arms are off the Suburban. The reason they look different is my dropped spindles and dropped coil springs. Other than having different bushings, they are the same shape and configuration as your factory arms are.

Everything is factory 2wd spec parts.
