1-3/8" Upper Rear Housing Bushings

I have a 64 Buick rear in a car that I am restoring. This rear has the smaller upper housing bushings on the rear and according to another Olds site that is the same for 64 Olds rears. This is a 10 bolt rear in an A body. My issue is I cannot find these bushings anywhere. They are always listed as 64-67 GM A body, but the other years are all 2" bushings I believe. Does anyone have any idea where I can find these bushings? I would prefer polygraphite as all the others on the car are but I would be thrilled to find even stock ones. The existing ones are all cracked and dried out so dont really want to keep them.
Thank you,
Bill

There are some aftermarket bushings available but you must retain your steel shells and install new rubbers and sleeves . No one that i have seen sells the one year small bushings complete , i ran in to this problem when i built a 1964 Chevelle rear end . They only sell the insides , you must leave the steel shell intact and installed - do not remove the steel shell . Hope this helps . BOB

Do you know who sells the smaller bushings? Everyone I have called so far is clueless.
Thank you.
