Unacceptable: tubular upper control arms with no bump stop pads.

Not true. The pic below is the same manufacturer on PST's website selling B Body UCAs. I have these on my Coronet and they contact the bump stop.

I think B-Bodies have their bump stops in a different spot that makes it work. Even the factory A-Body arms have a flair to them to get them over to the bump stops.
