From what I understand you have to change the front complete under carriage assembly to get the updated rubber bushings in the front end.

The 67-72 all used metal bushings in the upper and lower A-arms, Get a front from a 73-87 and rebuild it.

Unless someone knows of a supplier of control arm shafts that are upgraded to the rubber bushing type? Most aftermarket stock style is all steel for 67-72.
