Need an Upper Trailing Arm for a '67 Cutlass/4-4-2
Anyone have a good one for sale?
I just finished blasting and painting under the back end of my post car.
Rear end and related parts are all blasted, painted and ready to be re-installed.
Somehow I've managed to lose one of the upper trailing arms that
attaches to the top of the differential housing.
Thought I had spares, but, can't locate any.
I have a pair off a '68, but, they're longer than the '67 ones.
Thanks.

You are exactly right!
I just assumed the longer ones were for the longer wheel base car.
I'm familiar mainly with '67's and older.
Haven't had much exposure to the '68 and newer rear ends.
I measured the ones on the convertible to confirm.
So much for assuming! I feel like an idiot.
Thanks! You saved me a hassle.
Looks like I won't be needing any after all.
Thanks for the reply, though.

Glad I could help; everyone has their "moments".
