All "A" body front control arms are the same from 64-72. Any of the spindles will bolt on.

thanks that is what I wanted to hear the a arm on the disc system are suspect because the guy who had it did a number on the frame when he hit a pole and popped the tire and bend the frame and himself. they looked straight as compared to the left side but the new 71 frame looks great. Ed ke6bnl
