Like Capt said up there. All of the 63 to 72 lower control arms are the same but the ball joints might be different.
I have a feeling I just made more questions from this post.

Thanks for the information.
I think I'll wait for a message from the gentleman who offered me the part. Until I see what it looks like I won't know one way or the other what will work. I can't see what ripping everything out of the front of my truck and installing 73-82 parts is going to accomplish when I only need 1 part. It's never going to be a show truck and my budget is tightly limited. It steers good now. It runs good and does what I bought it for....to be a work truck I can move stuff too large for our other vehicle.
