If you have replaced your rear control arms with Metcos or Zack and Macs and still have your stock arms I would like to buy or borrow them. I have a new project in the works. Thanks in advance.

No, I was going to use them as a template to make a set of tubular stainless steel control arms. Then polish the crap out of them.

Ha Ha. Those are half mine! Magindat....

BC4E, just take the center to center measurements.

Call energy suspension. I think if you do a 2" ID pipe as your end link, the ES kit for a Early 70's K body Mopar will give you the bushings you need. I did something similar on a minivan years ago. I think the roll-pin measurement for width was 2.25 or 2.5. I think in this case, you'd need 2 kits. If that ain't what you need, call ES and give them the end link measurement and they'll x-ref to an existing part.

I was going to use the stock arms as a fixture to hold the end links true while I welded them. I could make two fixtures but this would be so much faster.
