Help finding Upper Control arms.

In my suspension class, we've been doing a lot of work to the suspension of my 1994 Silverado 1500 2wd, replaced upper and lower ball joints with Moog, and installed some Specialty products cam bolts. Even after all that the camber and caster is still way off, even fully adjusted out. After we stared at it for a while, we could visually tell that both upper control arms were bent, the passenger side was the worst, where the camber would only go to -0.7.

My problem is finding some new upper control arms that DO NOT have pre-installed ball joints, cause I can just use the Moog upper ball joints I installed and swap them over the the new control arm, since they are bolted in.

I know that upper control arms without ball joints would be vastly less expensive, but they are practically impossible to find. Can anyone help me out?

Truck is sitting on the stock suspension, with stock tires, in case your wondering.

Since you can't find them new without the ball joints, I would check the salvage yards. Just make sure you find a donor that was smashed in the rear or the side, & not in the front & also one that hasn't been rolled & they should be fine.
