A few years ago, I bought a set of used control arms that were listed as fitting my ’64 Galaxie. When I got them, and compared them to the stock control arms and the frame of the car it was evident that Document1knew that the modification was beyond my D.I.Y. welding skills so I took the control arms to local, well regarded chassis shop. They told me it would cost more to make the modifications than to fabricate a new set of arms. And that would be well over $1,000; too steep for my budget.
The tubular control arms are in excellent condition and I am certain they must fit some car and work well. Unfortunately, can’t find any part number or manufacturer name on them. They look like they are powder coated and likely had a sticker label on them, but any labels are long gone
MY QUESTION TO THE FORUM: does anyone know of a reference source that could give the critical dimensions of control arms (bushing bore diameter, center line dimensions between bores, etc. that could help me identify the control arms, so I could, hopefully, sell them to someone that could use them? I’ve “Googled” everything I could think up looking for something like this without success

Tough one! I don't know of any reference source but do have a suggestion that may be of assistance.
I would post a picture of those control arms in the hopes someone may recognize the manufacture. That way you may be able get the answer you need directly from the source.
Secondly, I would contact manufactures customer service and provide them with a picture to see if they recognize the design. They may be able to provide you with some information as well. Good luck!

Thanks. I'll try to get some pictures posted A.S.A.P.
