Just bought a Z28 and I need help!

I just bought an '85 Z28 4bbl and I need to find a way to get the unibody mounting bracket for the left, rear lower control arm. Do you guys have any ideas on what to do??:hail:

If you take off my driver side wheel, and look directly in it you see all of the suspension and everything, now if you find the control arm and follow it to where it links to the unibody (basically the florr board) the bracket is what i need. Now its just that piece thats rotted out, my floor boards and everything else is fine??

I CAN POST A PIC IF NEEDED!

Ahhhhhh.... its rotted away... well, you can always check Paradise Alley for the bracket, but they are expensive. Local wrecking yard is all I can think of.

All of the wrecking yards i went to said its a waste of their time and money. By the time they have the part off it'll be ruined and i won't want it. Looks like i'm going to have to fabricate it...Fun Fun! Thanks anyways

I already went there, and spent oh, about 30 min, looking through the archives, and we found nothing

That's odd, whenever I need a rare super expensive part, GM always has it (they did make the car after all) They can also order it too.

yup i thought they would have it to, but its a part of the floor pan we're assuming, so i would have to order a whole new floor pan. My way is free! but probably a bit more work.
