70 ball joints?

Hey-anybody know if original ball joints in the 70 cutlass would have been riveted or bolted?

Thanx-Ted

The upper were rivetted, lowers I believe are pressed in.

I agree, uppers riveted, bottoms pressed. The best way to get them riveted is to find NOS control arms with the joints in already. Good luck! You can buy fake rivet bolts that look like rivets. I judge for the OCA...trust me...riveted upper joints won't make your car a winner. We have no time to check them!

Trust me! None of my cars have ever been judged-except by my family
Just trying to determine originality of my newest member!
