S-10 ball joint sleeve dimensions

Well, got under the car finally.
I'm going with S-10 spindles and ball joints. Does anyone have dimensions for the A-Arm sleeve? Or pics of how you have done it. I saw the one set someone had and they look real professional.

In the rear I'm completely undecided. Looks like an S-10 rear is straightforward. But if I'm doing fabbing for mounts and everything else I'm leaning towards a 12 bolt. I know it's more money...
Heading to Pomona swap meet to see what I find.

Bruce,

You can call these folks and see what the OD is of the sleeve. Cut the excess off after welding it in, you won't need the whole 1" length. I left the same amount below the control arm as the factory ball joint had in the arm.

Look at 40-3301:
