Re: Tubular control arms

As for factory GM stamped-steel a-arms (pre-88 body style excluding Burbs?Blazers/CC's).... GM 1/2 ton control arms for earlier (pre-73) trucks will swap over to later (post-73) x-members. The post-72 HD trucks continued use of the earlier style bushings. Post-72 1/2 ton trucks got the car style bushings. Different OE bushings require the different/appropriate arms. Lower BJ's are larger on the HD apps but the arms themselves will still swap over. Upper BJ's for 1/2 ton & larger have the same footprint as far as mounting to the arm so they will interchange. *The BJ mounting 'footprint' changed w/the introduction of the OBS/GMT400 series trucks so the upper arms are either 1/2 ton spec or 3/4 ton/up spec. In summary, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
