Well if your arms are already powdercoated, and you can bolt in a balljoint that will work I don't see a reason to buy uniballs. But I'll give it my best shot to find them.

I can tell you one thing from my parts store experience...that doesn't look like a factory fullsize 1/2 ton chev bj to me. But what do I know? I know that there is a book at a parts store in Sandpoint that has ball joints with massive amounts of travel for custom applications...you should check it out...ask Lee

well you live 5 miles from me, so maybe i'll just come get you in person, and you can show me the book at Schmuck's with all the massive travel custom application baljoints. cause all lee had when i talked to him was 64 degrees of motion.

MOOG K 6292 Upper. from straight. It has; 37 degrees down and 47 degrees up. 84 degrees motion total to work with.
MOOG K6293 lower has +/- 27 degrees motion for 54 degrees total motion.

Glad I could help.
I bought a lot of ball joints at my local KY motors parts store, took them home, measured them, then returned them until I found what I needed!!
Good Luck with your project.
