Re: Control Arms?
I think the arms are different, but that the balljoint diameter is the same. The threaded parts of the balljoint may be different lengths, though. Others should chime in with more info.

Re: Control Arms?
I need to know how they are different also. I've got a FE from a 1970 or 1971 that I need to buy parts for. Wondering if the pivot arms are the same, as well as the ball joints. Thanks dave2953 for starting this thread! ET

Re: Control Arms?
you can swap the upper arms(just swap the ball joints). The lowers are different from 1/2 to 3/4 ton, due to the size of the hole in the arm for the ball joint. crazyL
