Help needed! - Identify this control arm - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck is confusing me. The truck is a 1971 C20 with 5on5 all around.
So... that means someone (20+ years ago estimated) switched out the original 3/4 ton spindles and rear with C10 parts. So I think....

Does it look like these are C10 upper control arms?
Because look, the ball joints still have the rivets in them.

If these are C10 upper control arms, does that explain why it's shimmed so much?

Thanks for any insight
