To buy new ones, first you must build a time machine ...

They've been NLA for a few years now.

It may also help to specify which year, because there may have been design changes between 1987 and 1996.

As to the UCA mounting bolts, those can be done with standard Grade 8 or higher bolts; the T-head is nice, though. 9/16 Fine thread, if you're looking for them. Also, if junkyard cruising, they're in the front of most RWD Mopar products from the late 50's on.

The change waant until possibly 97 when they went with a wider wheel base for the wider body. Best bet is to get some from a junkyard or ebay and sandbalst them or wire wheel them and paint them.. second gens might work but they might be wider as I stated earlier.
