Craig if you are in a bind I can send you a set of upper control arms off of a 91 I parted out. They are both pretty nice shape with the bushings in them. The van had 100k miles on it and was garage kept (got Tboned or it would still be floating down the road). I can just send them to you for the price of shipping if that will help you out.
