Default Trailing arms

I need to replace the driver's side trailing arm and spindle, and was wandering if the year makes a difference when I am looking. This is for a 1972. Is there a resource that I can look at to see any differences?

Thanks

C3 all equal.

Why would you only do one side ?

We are rebuilding both sides, but the driver's side is damaged and not able to be rebuilt.

Just look at the new ones for sale and they should say what years they will fit. Look at a few to help give you an idea what years will fit your car.

Thanks SUG, I had done that but also have seen that many folks make the assumption and representation of that, and I am trying to not do the same. I have also seen at Commercial sites they ask for other car options and years, so I wanted to at least ask to verify that is true before I started searching and spending some money. I am sure you can appreciate this even more than I, but it seems most of the available stuff isn't located near me (North Carolina) and so its not something I can eyeball before I purchase.
