You may want to take a picture of the upper control arm that you are not replacing so your potential provider can match the ball joint. There are different styles of finishing bolts that hold the ball joints in place, including rivets, rivet style screw heads, and bolt heads to name three. If you want to have your new control arm match your existing arm that will be one of the areas to cover. Also, you may want to determine which type of surface treatment you want. I use black powder coating. Some use POR 15. Some use paint. Just depends upon what you want.
Good luck with your search and best regards,

Screw in ball joint
David,
. This is a friends car. They ball joint is a screw in type no rivets. I have a 68 and had an 80 and the ball joint is completely different. it has a taller cylindrical piece standing an inch tall on top side of A arm.
He just wants the car back together so he can drive it. If this were my car the entire front end would be rebuilt. The a arm shaft came out of the A arm bushings.
Sorry I dont have pictures of the ball joint. However this is not for restoration of the car. He is just trying to get back on the road without getting a divorce from his wife.
