I recently tried to fit the long arms to my '70 chassis (I actually think the longer fills out the wheel well better...go figure) and found that the upper spring mount was too far forward and caused the spring to bow. Maybe fitting the short arms to a later body works ok.

The bow in the spring was hitting the upper mount of the panhard rod.
Strange, I didn't expect that the upper mount location would have moved as well.
Had to settle for the short arms. Makes the 195-75x15 tires run close to the body on the front lower section of the wheel well which was another reason I wanted to use the longer arms.
