Hey Guys,
I recently picked up an 85 Ram D150 (318, 2WD, Long Bed). We're hoping to make this a daily driver for my son who will turn 16 in a few months. Most of the mechanical stuff has been gone through and the truck runs really well. However, the driver side upper control arm rotted off on both sides at the shock tower, ball joint is still in place. Has anyone ever seen this before? We've checked a few local yards and looked online a bit and so far no luck in finding a replacement. Anyone have one of these they no longer need or know where we can get one?

Thanks for your time.
Frank

EBay. Finding used can sometimes be a bit tricky if stuff in your area rusts. I had to replace 1 on my 81.

search 1972-1993 dodge trucks as they are all the same upper arms. add in ramchargers. ebay has some generic 'after market' OEM replacement parts. not sure on quality. Chassis Tech makes some tubular uppers, however, general consensus of internet jury has been 'stay away'....

Hey guys, thanks for your input. My son found some on eBay from Quirkparts. We'll put them on and see how it goes. Wish us luck.
Thanks!
