1968 olds 98 convertible: rear upper and lower control arms?!?

I can’t seem to find tubular rear upper and lower control arms. If I understand correctly, this is a GM c body and all I’m seeing is a body arms. Any help is appreciated.

A body lowers fit but the uppers are too short.

btw I don’t want oem because the previous owner ran a custom exhaust that didn’t fit going by the control arms so he shaved the rear uppers🤦*♂️. Not much I can do I already blew one apart figure I should replace both shaved uppers and might as well replace the lowers with tubular arms too

Fix the exhaust and use stock uppers. Not much support for the big girls suspension, hopefully someone might have been there and done that.

The 1965-1970 full size cars use the same rear lower control arms as the 1964-72 A-body cars and the same rear upper control arms as the 1964-67 A-body cars. The aftermarket manufacturers don't list these applications because there is no demand for parts for these cars, but the arms do fit.
