You can use any of the C10 arms from 63-87.

You will just need to make sure they have the correct ball joints that correlate to your spindle.

Upper ball joints are as follow: 63-70; 71-72; 73-87
Lower ball joints are as follow: 63-70; 71-87

If you know what year your spindles are then it will be as easy as ordering new ball joints that match the year span. If you are unsure, then there will be a little test fitting to figure it out.
