    Ok im new to the automotive rebuild club... I'm rebuilding my 69 c10 pickup I ordered a suspension kit from LMC im reusing the lower control arms. I have removed the control arm shafts and bushings but the new one is shorter and no rubber bushings but everywhere i take it they say its the part for my truck noone can tell me specifically though what the deal is are there smaller control arms i can get does anyone know the specs on the width they are suppose to be because the only thing i can come up with is that the control arms are off a bigger truck i dont mind just ordering new ones but if im just missing a bushing to make them fit would like to know if anyone has had this issue

    Thank you for clarifying that .

    In 1969 they didn't use rubber bushings , it was all metal and much better , you just need to be on the schedule for regular greasing else they'll grind to dust .
