the flange thats welded on there remindes me of the edlebrock lower control arms. so i'd guess its either those or the old style hotchkis ones.

BBK and Lakewood both have their swaybar flange welded to the side of the control arm instead of directly under the boxed arm.

you should get them sandblasted cheap and paint them up and resell them on ebay for almost full price
