Re: 67-72 vs 73-87 lower control arms

the control arms are the same from 63-87 only thing that changed are the ball joints. As for plate vs cup on our standard cool ride we use a lower cup style bracket and on our tubular arms we use a flat plate....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: 67-72 vs 73-87 lower control arms

well since we never did figure out what the problem was, i decided to pick up some '69 lcas...except it kinda came with the rest of the truck

i swapped out the suspension that was in it (6 lug) for my old one. i'm gonna clean up the lca's from this '69 and use those since the plates i bought work with them, gonna be fun
