72 C20 Control Arms

Looking to replace the control arms in my 72 C20. Looked over several posts, looked at Classic and Brothers, nothing avail for the C20. Rock Auto has arms, has anyone had any experience with theirs? Better options?

There are heavy duty springs on the SPID, if that means anything to parts sourcing. It's bit me before.

The Rock Auto 3/4 ton control arms:

http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo....031791&jsn=442

They come up under the C20 search, but the description doesn't call them out by name, as a 3/4 ton part. This is where things have gone wrong for me in the past.... it shows up as a lighter/smaller version.

Thanks! Any info is greatly appreciated!

Re: 72 C20 Control Arms

I can't say for sure about your application, but I used Mevotech lower control arms on my wife's Highlander. If I remember correctly, they're made in China, but most everything is these days, even dealer parts. The control arms I got seemed to be well made and the fit was fine. That was about 12,000 miles ago and no problems so far.

Re: 72 C20 Control Arms

I have been looking for lower control arms for my 70 C20 also. I can't find them anywhere. I'm interested in this post.

Re: 72 C20 Control Arms

They appear just like my C10 arms other than whatever the little tab is on the ball joint.
