60 lower arm bent, what years interchange??

[William B.]

My 60 project has a bent right lower a arm. I did not like both lower arm's anyway because they have rust pits in them.
My question is what all years are the same, did the make any changes to lower a arms between 58-62 and can I look for a arms from 50's chevy trucks?
Please help so I can start my search, Thank you

First off all '50s Chevy pick ups had beam axles.

The lower control arms were '49-'54 Chevy passenger car and '53-'62 Corvette. They used the same part numbers for both applications.

Yes, 49-54 Chevrolet passenger cars are the only non-Corvette applications that ever used these arms across all GM car and truck lines. The problem is that those 49-54 Chevrolet passenger cars are not as plentiful as they used to be.

No they aren't. Seems like when I was in high school everyone had one. The 55-57 Chevys were still too expensive for most kids unless they had a real good job.
