I bought a really nice pair of upper arms off Ebay about a year ago. They have very nice ball joints and boots. I am intending to use them on my 66. The ones off my 66 are not nearly as nice, plus they have the wrong cross shaft with square areas around the mounting bolt hole instead of the round.
As I recall, they were advertised as 63-82 corvette. Before I go to the trouble of restoring these, I want to be sure they are correct. Were the upper A-Arms the same across the C2s and C3s?
The first picture show the Ebay purchase on the left and the one I just removed off my chassis on the right. They look the same to me. But I'm to much a novice to be sure.
The second picture is a close up of the rivets on the one that I removed from my chassis, and the third picture is of the rivets on the Ebay purchase. They are much different. The ones off my car are more typical of what I have seen with a somewhat convex shape when it was set. The Ebay one looks much different.
Did Chevrolet/GM change the style of riveting these in the later years?
Thanks,
