Default C3 upper control arm question

I would like to know if the upper control arms in a C3 vette are the same as in some other cars, if so in which ones.

Reason I ask is I'm looking at the SPC upper control arms. They do not come for vettes, but for other GM types.

'58 - '64 Impalas and other full size Chevys only the arms, the shaft I think are different.

I'm doing the lowers NOW. There is no sway bar tab on the impala that I know of...
