Classic Parts of America has them.
I got my last set from my GM dealer. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: where to find u-bolts for the lower control arms?
I've taken mine off a few times. Just threw them in a vice and tightened them down to get them to go back in. Torque specs can prob be found via search. I tightened mine down to about eeerrghh ftlbs
 if the threads are fine then you should be good to go otherwise they are cheap and cheap reassurance at thatPosted via Mobile Device

Re: where to find u-bolts for the lower control arms?
Classic parts should have the cross shafts as well and the studs. Just about everything for the front suspension which is nice.
