1957 suspension question

So I am working on my 1957 and I am running into a roadblock….

upper and lower control arms
i would love to update these but can find anything and would prefer not to have custom built.

so is it true that these are NOT the same as the 57 Chevy or if they will work but have to change out the spindles as well.
thanks in advance for guidance or direction to where I can purchase some

They are Very Definitely === NOT === the same as any other vehicle in the G M world -- or anything else , period....
I do have *** NEW *** N.O.S. Upper & LOWER *** Ball Joints and
Upper & Lower Control Arm Shafts with Bushings ........

Do you need more than that ??? The Control Arms themselves are USED world only --- and not many of them floating around junkyards around America .... too desirable a car !!!

Yeah not looking to buy those really just looking for options before really I ultimately break down an have custom ones made…

if anybody and some used upper & lower for both sides I would be in the market than to used as templates to get custom ones made without using my existing so I can drive it in the mean time
