Tubular upper and lower "A" arms
Any one ever seen them for the "B" body Pontiacs?

Check with Pro Touring F-body, when I ordered my parts for my TA we spoke about parts he had for my sons GTO. He also mentioned doing stuff for the 62 Cats. That was back in October. (847) 594-9021 Is the number great guy to deal with, he spends the time to get you the look and ride you want. Good luck

Ram Air Restorations was making some a while back but never had the on their site. You may want to check with them also as I am not sure what Years they were for or if they are still doing them.

Would be great if someone did make them with some caster built in for radials... or to use a nice, beefy and much more common GM spindle that would accomodate a 12" disc brake knuckle/hub that would take a 5 on 5 pattern GM rotor.
Free advice and worth every cent! |

I was doing the front brakes on my dad's '02 GMC half ton 4WD recently, noticed it had forged control arms rather than stamped steel. A quick compare revealed it was no where even close to a 65 B body upper, but it got me to wondering if ANY currently mass produced control arms, for anything, could come close enough to work on 65-up B body...but most likely not. And there's no easy way to compare with out having both in hand.

Really......what's his screen name? Right now, I'm trying to get all the parts I need for the front suspension located. There will be no work and the Cat will continue to sit in KY until my current spinal issues are resolved( 2 new bulged discs plus worsening stenosis).

Fronts! Is it the upper arm only, or upper and lower? Plus any documentation they may have sent, related to how much caster and camber they may allow. If possible, a pic of new units next to old would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!

They are upper and lower, and I think I remember them saying there were two "settings" for a stock and a more "modern" caster camber. Don't know how I'll show that in a picture...
