I’m looking for this old GM tool for servicing upper and lower control arms (for my 63 Vette)

I can’t seem to find one or even a reasonable replication. Anyone have their own version of the tool?

thanks.

I definitely don't have that tool. What is the purpose? Maybe there are more modern versions readily available. Doesnt look like it'd be hard to make either

the tool allows removal and install of control arm bushings on early GM control arms without bending the arm. I would like to find one as they are an old unique tool. I like to find those sort of tools that work on my 63 easier, keep them in a special tool box for when I pass on the car to my boys....old car and the tools to maintain it, I suppose.

I can appreciate that. I wonder how many Chevy dealerships have one of those covered in dust and dirt in the back corner of the tool room

I can only hope this post or at least the info reaches the right person.
