Default Any good deals on torsion bars?

Before I get flamed like a montana forest fire I did do a search and all I find is torsion bar lifts. My question is does anyone know of a good place to order up a pair of torsion bars? Just OEM replacement no lift or anything. Tried Rock Auto and they don't carry them. It is on a second gen. Thanks for any replies.

OK, I can't search any more, it is looking like it is going to have to be used. Does anyone at least know if the left and right are interchangable?

They are stamped for left and right and cannot be switched sides, but there are different thicknesses for the bars though.

Torsion bars are computer picked prior to vehicle assembly. They are different side to side, depending on what options the vehicle is equipped with. For example: On 2 door vehicles, the fuel tank is centered in the vehicle and on 4 door vehicles the fuel tank is on the left side. The adjusters are used to fine tune the bars to obtain correct front chassis ride height. If you want the correct bars, take your VIN and RPO code list to a GM dealer parts department. They can give you the exact part numbers that were installed at the factory.

Ahhh. That would explain why I can't find them any where. I even tried to find some sort of aftermarket pair but nothing turns up. Thanks Hook.
