Control arm measurements.

Hello, I need the measurements of the upper and lower control arms on a 64-65 Falcon or Mustang.
I'm doing a disc brake conversion on a 1960 Falcon with my daughter. I have the Granada spindles and I need the upper and lower control arms with the bigger ball joints. I picked up NOS ones for a 71 Mustang only to learn they are longer. This swap is taking quite a few years since I don't force my daughter to work on it however I only work on it when she does. We have one side completely disassembled and ready to begin assembly.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Mark
 
I have a 64 ranchero I can get the measurments tomorrow mine is a 6 cyl don't know know if that matters I have also done the disk swap went to 5 lug using the stock spindles and ranger 9 inch drums on rear just redrilled the axle
 
Yes Frank, I just want to make sure they are the same length as my 1960's. Did you use the Granada swap? I will search your profile for threads that you started. Nice looking Ranchero and congrats on 3rd place.
Thanks, Mark

no I used a mustang conversion I found on e bay I think it was around $350 rotors and loaded calipers I did the Granada spindles on my wagon I think the lower ball joint is larger or it was on the wagon I also swapped the rear for a ranger disk rear and a s10 5 speed
are you going to change the master to a 2 port that I did on the ranchero wish I had done power though
 
I will definitely change the master to a two port with a 7/8" or 1" bore. My stock lower measures 14" and the 67-73 Mustang measures 18". I cannot use that lower for sure.
 
I got 13 1/2 to center of ball joint from center of pivot on the lower upper is 11 inches from shaft [side closest to inner part of upper arm] to center of ball joint if you need anything else pm me good luck
