nos ball joints
In the attached picture the ball joint on the left is an nos upper ball joint for my '70 ls6,it perfectly matches the original ones that I just removed from my car.The one on the right is also an nos upper ball joint,part# 3848048 grp 6.164,according to my GM dealer this is supposed to be the same ball joint as my original ones,however as you can see it is not.The main issue is the rivet holes on the one on the right are bigger than my nos unit and I don't think that my 1/4" rivets would hold them tightly.There are several of these nos units on e-bay,they all give the same part # and say that they are for a '70 Chevelle. Has anyone seen this before, or did GM use different size rivets??
