Hello guys, I have a question concerning my lower ball joints. I am building my own tubular a-arms, and im not quite sure what to do with my lower ball joints. I need to make a ball joint cup, does someone out there make such a beast for a 67-72 stock lower ball joint. Do I have to go a get a screw in ball joint with a cup. If I get a screw in joint, will the taper be the same? If you have any feedback on this, please let me know. I have the upper arms already made and they look great. Im just a little lost on the ball joint issue. Thanks Klye

I don't think any of the screw in balljoints are the correct taper. I would also be a little worried about them being too small. I use the screw ins on Toyota's, and the larger one is intended to be an upper joint on a fullsize car. I doubt I would trust it as a lower in a fullsize truck. The stock balljoint is much beefier. I used Chevy balljoints in the D50 arms I made, and I just made my own cup out of 3" solid stock, for the press in balljoint.
