Thanks Jack

Re: Lca ?
The 67-72 arms will work just fine. The only difference may be the ball joints (depending on which year the arms come off of). There are a few different ball joint sizes and tapers from 63-87. If possible I would try and locate some 73-87 arms... they are a better design (IMO) and the parts for them are readily available and a little less expensive. Another thing I would recommend is replacing the u-bolts, that hold the arms to the crossmember, with the later model u-bolts (73-87). The newer u-bolts are a 9/16 diameter, so you will need to drill out the holes in the crossmember to accept them. The design was "upgraded" for good reason!
