Upper A arm diagram help. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a pic/scan of the upper A arm assembly drawing. The one I'm rebuilding has a bunch of miscellaneous bolts and washers. I noticed that a couple washers are not typical and I want to make sure I have them in the right place. If no pics are available, can someone take me step by step through the process of bolting the assembly to the crossmember. Thanks

Ah hah, that's the funky washer I was talking about, except mine aren't square, but same idea. That kinda threw me off looking at the LMC cat. I need to get more of these. Thanks!

The "washers" are shims to adjust your upper a arms for alignment, If you changed the placement then you will need a alignment possibly.
