I thought you said in the post above this that you got ball joints that worked. If that's the case, go with it..

No i did some figuring and measuring and the 70-81 ball joint has a different length shaft by about a 1/4" and has a different taper (not by much)as described earlier by Mr. Pozzi. I have been to every parts store in my area and noone has the answer. Hopefully someone out there will read this and the mystery will be solved.

If factory control arms are ok, just look for some different used ones. With everyone ditching them for tubular, they should come pretty cheap.
