Early classic sells them. If not you can check a tractor supply store.

My son took my old one to a big truck repair facility, and they bent me a new pair from good stuff...and furnished the washers and nuts. Cost me less than $15.

I got mine from Classic Parts of America 816-741-8029. They are the correct diameter and length....fit perfect.

Anywhere BUT LMC! When I changed mine I bought the new ones there. Those nuts get torqued between 180 and 250 ft lbs according to the factory assembly manual. LMC sent grade three nuts with half the grip length of the originals. The threads stripped at 130 ft-lbs. Last time I will ever buy from them.

That's what I did and about the same price make them while you wait.
