Control arms

Patch said
If I'm understanding you correctly......no problem putting the 73 LCA on my 65 Dart as long as I use the same knuckles, upper LCA etc? I DO have another set of LCA off of a 73 or 74 that have the mounting tabs for the sway bar........so I could use those as well if I wanted? I got the original drum set-up off the Dart last night......first time in the car's history that stuff had ever been apart......It's fun though....and I cant wait to see the results. My Dart's hard brake lines where they connect to the soft lines up front......will I need to change those to get the hoses to screw on? Thought I read something about that as well.....Thanks again.....Pat

I your case I'd keep the original lower control arms. The later sway bar isn't going to fit your k-member anyway. For others that are going to use the '73-6 K-member along with the brakes and suspension parts on a '67-72 conversion, the swap would make sense. The control arms dimensionally seem to be the same including the pins. Somewhere after '73 they started using a coarse thread adjuster so carefull you don't mix them with the early ones and strip something. Here's a photo to show the two arms side by side. Note the sway bar locations.
