Part Number Question Mid-Year A-Arm Shaft

[George C.]

I am looking for an upper a-arm control shaft for my 65 roadster. Some of you may have seen my posts about a month ago about an offset shaft. The shaft I now believe was just an aftermarket replacement that has an offset look to it.
The part number on my other shaft is "3820483 GM22", I think this is an original but am not sure. This past weekend at a car show/swap meet I looked at 3 different shafts, one was in an a-arm and none of them had any part numbers at all.
Can anyone tell me what is correct for my car?

Thanks in advance,

There were at laest two different designs used in '63-67, the first design which is seen predominently (but not exclusively) in the '63-65 cars is a square bat in the area between the mounting bolts. i believe this is the one that carries a part number. There is also a second design used that has a round shaft between the mounting bolts. I don't think that one has a part number. If you are looking for a Bar, carr Bair's in Linesville PA at (814) 693-4223 and ask for Brian. They do a LOT of suspension rebuilds for major vendors and I'm sure they can help you out.

Bill,

That answers the question perfectly. The one I have is a square bar design between the mounting holes. The ones I saw this weekend were more rounded. I will keep up the search.

Thanks very much,

George
