57's are different, but 46-54 are basically the same.
I know you are not doing a restoration, but my point is that the arms must match. You'll have a problem if they don't. So you need to get a matched set. Choices: buy some from someone who knows that the two they have match (a parts place) or find a 46-54 axle with the arms on it. A pile of arms like Jimbo has ain't gonna do you any good unless you can match them. It can't be done by looking. The draglink is not the same on all years, either. The best thing would be to get a parts book and look up the part numbersvof the arms you want. Then call Jimbo and tell him the numbers you need. The numbers are cast into the parts. This is, however not true with the draglink. Unless you know the exact year of the axle and arms you have, it's going to be tuff to find the right one, because they vary in length do to the configuration of the steering arm. If you buy from Jimbo, get the whole axle with the arms and the drag link ATTACHED, then you'll know what you have.
