Need Lower Control Arm Shafts - Torsion Bar 1960

So Im looking for lower control arm shafts for a 1960 with torsion bar suspension. I was able to get a left one but cannot find a right one.

Anyone know who has them in stock?
OR
can I just buy new caps and install those - as those seem to be the wear items. If so, where could I get those? Are the caps the same as a 63-72?

I have a 1960 C-10 frame with the torsion bar frontend that I will be parting out for any usable parts. Hate to throw away old iron from a classic truck. Are the lower controls arms a pain in the rear to remove? I might try removing them and post them up for anybody looking for some OE stuff.

Easy to remove. Most remove the bars and cross member.

You can buy the end caps. I bought mine years ago from Truck and Car Shop.

Do you happen to still have that front suspension your parting out? I need a nut that goes on the torsion bar adjustment bolt.
