WTB: Original Lower Ball Joints

I cannot help you with the lowers, but I just stripped down my 69' chassis and will be selling off the chassis parts. The RH upper A Arm has the original riveted ball joint in it and is as tight as new.

Parts
Hi Bill , went out and took some pictures. Car has 63k miles. Now the original owner told me he drove it for about 3 1/2 years and the stopped driving it until I picked it up. I have no way of knowing other then not knowing wht he would lie. Sure looks like it sat for a long time. The problem is you need the parts now and that job on that rust bucket will be awhile. So let me know!

Hi,
That fastener for the ball joint makes me think….replacement.
I'll bet there's a nut on the underside of the a-arm.
Hope I'm wrong!

Note rivet dome.

LOwer Ball joints
Big question is are they GM ball joints? If so they may have even fewer miles on them.

I am really interested. I agree that they look like they were replaced. That could be a good thing if the replacements are GM ball joints.
See attached pic to compare.
Thanks, Bill
Note the small nubs on the ears. The dust boot on yours do look correct.
