1965 C20 Lower A-Arms
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to put together my 1965 C20 lower control arms. I can't figure out a good way of getting the shaft and the new rubber into the control arm. The rubber has to be in the inside i believe because the shaft nuts need to make metal to metal contact with the control arm itself.

lube up the rubber good, push one side in and then the other, tighten up nuts and done.

I believe that this control arm type is for the 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks. They were on the 1965 C20 when I got it.

That looks like the Torsion bar style lower shafts. Not sure when/what GM changed on C20 chassis but the Torsion bar set-up ended in 62 for the 1/2 tons.
