WTB C10 Control arms A-arms

Have a 69 C10 and need some control arms in good shape ( dirty-ness doesn't matter )

Thought I had a couple sources locally but after 6-8 weeks of waiting I am finally giving up on my local sources.

I live in the NW corner of Washington state 98221. I go to eastern WA some what frequently. Don't mind paying to ship. If you could remove the cross shaft that would be awesome because I have new ones already and they aren't exactly light weight.

Thanks guys!

Thank you Wrenchbender, called him yesterday and left a message and he called me back today and it worked out for both of us. I am happy my search is finally over.

Between 67-72 they were all the same right? Or were the holes where the ball joints go a little different size?

I know they used different ball joints but from my research Im pretty sure the tapers on the ball joints is the only thing that changed from 1960ish to late 70's or 80's

There's a wrecking yard in snohomish which usually has 5 of our trucks. Prices are real reasonable too. You will pay a small fortune to ship control arms.

Re: WTB C10 Control arms A-arms

I have had two people now offer me a full set of 4 with shipping for $125 (w/o cross shafts). To me that's a pretty good deal. I passed on the earlier one because the guy had a potential buyer for the whole front suspension, which he did end up selling it all together.

I have heard about that yard in snohomish from a couple people... it's only a hour away I will have to check it out some day.

If none of the others pan out, I have a set you can have as long as you make the trip out here to pick them up. (Darrington)

Thats mighty nice of you. I work with a guy that lives 10 miles from you roughly... I know he lives waaaaaay out past arlington (on Hiway 530). I will see tomorrow if he wouldn't mind stopping by your place for me.
