Need help: 66 or 73 tubular control arms?

Hi All, my 66 had a 73 crossmember swap done when i got it, I'm looking at tubular control arms and drop spindles should i be looking at 73 parts or 66 parts which i believe would bolt up to this crossmember? would like to go with the 73 parts. Also which engine mounts would i use?

Post pix of what you have. The '73-up crossmember is likely a 1/2 ton. So yes, the aftermarket tubular arms for that years will go on. Shop around, the stuff from Dragon Land aka Chyna are everywhere these days & the quality will vary.

The crossmember is basically the same, either version of the arms will bolt up to it. The spindles are also basically the same but have different size ball joints, so match the ball joints to the year of spindle you're using.
