Difference b/t 63-66 and 67-72 Control Arms

I was always under the assumption that there wasn't a difference of these at all, but when I went to look for some bag brackets on suicidedoors I noticed two different types.

Typo. Bag brackets are the same 63-97(91 burb) half tons.
The ball joints, sway bar holes, and I think bushing types change 63-66, 67-72, 73-87

As far as I know the '63-'72 control arms are the same.....except for sway bar mount holes in the '66-'72 lowers. The control arm bushings changed from steel to rubber in '73 on the C10's. The C20 and C30 retained the steel bushings from '73-'87.

If the sway bar holes are different then why was the front bar off of mid 80's 1-Ton a direct bolt in replacement for my original factory front bar on my 65??

What I meant was that the '63-'72 lowers are the same except that the '66-'72 had sway bar mounting holes in them whereas the '63-'65 did not have the holes. Sorry for the confusion.....
