upper control arm stud part number? will this work?

Howdy folks,

First of all, the victim is my 69 chevy c-10 longbed that i am putting 84 suburban spindles, control arms, steering stuff, and brakes on.

I yanked my old control arms to find that both of my upper control arm towers on my front crossmember were rotted out and needed to be replaced. i have a one-ton setup from a 78 or so truck so i yanked all the control arms etc to find that the towers were fine, but the member was heavily pitted and not as in good shape as my original. I am taking the towers from the 1 ton and bolting them to my original member, then bolting that to the frame(and drilling the required holes, etc of course.) My only problem is that the one-ton setup uses larger diameter studs. the 1/2 ton arms still go on and it seems that there would still be plenty of movement for alignment adjustment but i was wondering if anyone else has had experience with this. Also, one of the one-ton studs is kind of eaten away so i would like to replace it but i need a part number. Anyone have any idea what the part number for 1-ton studs is? Thanks for any help, tips, or suggestions!


Mike
