Keith depending on the time frame some uppers had the cut back for tire clearance and others didn't . It is probably best to clarify which that you need. Marcus did a good write up on the subject .http://anghelrestorations.com/uploads/3/5/1/2/35122002/65_to_73_suspension_guide_v2.4aopt.pdf . Skip to page 14 for the cut back ,non cutback details.Best of luck on your search.

Sorry ,thought about that afterward...would like non cutback version....thx bob appreciate the tip

i have some but finding one without damaged grease boot is hard to find as most are damaged when removed from spindle.

I got 10 or so rust free from southwest trips but everyone has a crack in grease boot from too much grease  or  tore when removed like most of them are  and i can send it out and have a nos grease boot installed if u dont find one ok
