67 72 control arms

Does anyone know if 73-87 lower control arms can be pair with 67-72 upper control arms? I know about the differences in ball joints just want to know if it can be done.

Yes.
I assume this is on a 1/2-ton truck?

Yes it is a half ton. I put 3 in Belltech drop spindles on my 70 c10 and had to due some trimming to clear the LCA. Long story short I think I took much material off because I had it on jack stands. For peace of mind I just want to replace them.

Re: 67 72 control arms

I think the only difference is the bushing type. I believe everything else is the same.

Use the correct balljoint for your spindle,... and any c10 lower 73-87 a-arm will be fine.
