72 Upper Control Arm Brackets?

[ron350]

My friend has a 1972 long bed and both upper control arm brackets are cracked.
These are the brackets that bolt to the frame where the alignment shims go.

Does any one sell aftermarket replacement upper control arm brackets?

Thanks
Ron.

Are you talk about this (See arrow). If you are, I personally haven't seen any aftermarket items unless it was a complete suspension kit, however I am sure you can find someone on here or Craigslist that are parting out their vehicles. If not then there is always the parts yards.

If you are talking about the cross shaft, they are available at just about any parts store.

Yes those are the brackets I am looking for.

Zable49 thank you very much for taking the time to post that clear picture.

Makes me wonder what would cause them both to crack?

No issues brother, we are all together on here to help each other. Also it was very easy since the truck is in the garage torn apart. HEHE

Just spit balling but I wonder if at one time the bolts were loose and when the suspension cycled it cracked. Or maybe a very large pothole and the tire causing things to flex and crack.

Good Luck.
