where can a guy find extended ball joints for 1st gens?

Howe Percision, you can get them 1/2" longer.

http://www.scandc.com/ sells them

I bet that if you get friendly w/ a GOOD Parts Counter Guy/Gal that will let you look through a bunch of ball-joints from say '65 to '80, that you will find a tall stock one!!

I had it in my hand after opening like 7 or 8 new b/j boxes and wrote down the part number, got home and put it up and forgot where I stuck this info??

Take a CLEAN old b/j w/ you and compare all of them until you find it!! I did...
