Default upper and lower control arms

I've called all the usual suspects and sources but can't find a new stock remanufactured pair of upper and lower control arms for my 71 TransAm. I could rebuild the set I have but it's a lot easier to just bolt in a new pair on each side. I can also find tubular control arms from several manufacturers, but a no one, to my knowledge, makes a set for the 70-74 Firebirds. I assume the same is true of the same years Camaros because they probably share the same suspension. Any ideas?

I have never dealt with these guys but they have a few Camaros to part out: Desert Valley Auto Parts.

Contact Glenn Lever. He's a Team Chevelle member that rebuilds control arms. I have not bought from him, but have sold him some arms. Good honest guy. Here's his website:

Contact Glenn Lever for sure! I bought rear lowers from him for a 69 Chevelle and they were real nice. Great communication. I believe he will also install bushings or ball joints if needed. He powder coats the control arms but will paint the correct satin black if you request it. He does not sell anything that was pitted and does not use any filler. Good luck......Pat
