Also, the lower arm is different because of the shock absorber mount. The
early arm has bottom holes for the two bolts. The late arm has two opposing
holes for one lower shock mount bolt.

Not that I have a need for it, but it should be easy enough to cobble up a
combination early/late front crossmember. The upper and lower ball joint
tapers are the same. If you had a rusted out early model, you could swap the
spindles and brakes over to the late A-arms and assemble the whole thing.
The steering arms are the same bolt pattern. If installed in an early, you
would end up with an early-model that had late-style shocks and camber
adjustments. Not necessarily better, just different. You might have to use
longer tie-rods as well.
