: 1st Gen Camaro A-arms on '69 El Camino?

I'm gonna rebuild the front end on my E.C. and I don't want to take it down any longer than necessary so I was wondering...do the A-arms from a '67-'69 Camaro/'68-'72 Nova interchange with those on my '69 E.C.? If possible I'd like to go ahead and rebuild a set and then just swap the arms out. I've got a spare set from my Camaro and it's hard to tell just looking at them, and I'm not sure what to measure. I've looked into interchange sites and see lots of A to A and F to F but no mention of F body to A body...I'm presuming cuz it doesn't interchange. Just wondering if someone actually has a Hollander's or something out there. Thanks.

So is this just too stupid/obvious of a question? Or is it simply that noone has the answer? If someone has a source to suggest I'll be glad to track it down. Any help is appreciated.

No, F-body units won't fit an A-body.

That is correct, F-Body control arms do not fit A-Body control arms.

All a-body control arms 64 thru 72 are interchangable with out modifications.

There are however three differnt style control arms that went into the A-Body throughout 64 thru 72.
