Default DJM Control Arms ball joints

I have a set of upper and lower DJM Control Arms that needs new ball joints. Does anybody have a part number off hand so i can see about ordering some new ones? Thanks

The uppers are 67- 72 C10 balljoints and lowers are 99-06 gm truck balljoints iirc. Also the upper balljoint hole on the spindle has to be opened up by a hair on the small end of the taper. I just used a drill bit to open it up but dont remember what size. Its only the last bit of taper that need to be opened up as the new upper balljoint studs are a little bigger.

Yes very good info... Thanks a lot
On a side note, RS/SS 4.8 looks like im going to start back up building my suspension. I'm going to use the control arms I bought from you to help mock things up. I'll text you more info when i start.
