63-70 have the same ball joints.
71-72 have different ball joints.
But the basic steel a-arm is the same.

Re: A arms are 67-72 the same

i was wondering the same. so does that mean i can change front drums brakes out to front disc brakes just by changing out the ball joints and spindles? if so i'll try this out this morning

yes, change the ball joints and spindles but the tie rods are different for disc brake trucks also, i believe someone sells an adapter sleeve thatll work so all you have to change are the outers, not sure who though, ive seen it talked about on here, maybe someone will jump in with the info, lmc catalogs are really good for this info, i have one for the 73s and up also and there are alot of parts from those years that fit also just check part numbers that match
