Can I put 67 and up lower control arms with sway bar tabs and sway bar on a 65 a body?

I'm getting ready to do that Myself. My LCA's may even be '73 up. I'll Update when I attempt the Sway-Bar install.

Control arms....yes. Sway bar.......no. You would need to get a factory '65-6 sway bar, or, and aftermarket one made for a '62-6 A-body.

Why is that CM? are the Bars Shorter? Or a different Angle? Will an old Bar match up to the Newer LCA?

Easy to see the difference. Early arms have tab for sway bar attach out at the end, near lower ball joint. 73 and later have the bar attach tab closer to the center of the arm. That bar threaded through the middle of the K member. It wont fit early a-body either.

Will the Early Bar Match-Up w/ the Later Arm? That will be My issue...
 
No. same type of problem. The width of the bar is totally different so the eyes don't line up close enough. The connecting link needs to mount close to vertical or they will bend.
 
Okay, Thank You for Clarification Sir!
Looks like I'll be Relocating the Tabs on mine...
