1960 Pontiac Safari Wagon suspension questions

Ok so the wagon needs some rear control arm bushings. Looked all over the place online and can't find a thing. Are the suspension components for the Safari the same as the components for the Brookwood? If so, are they both the same as the components for the Impala of the same year?
Guess while we are asking questions, anyone know where to get factory Pontiac interior. Mama says she doesn't want to use impala interior.
Thanks for any help.

 

Check ebay or California Pontiac Restoration (CPR) or AMES for these bushings. The only bushing that is not available is the the one for the upper control arm, where it is attached to the rearend, very hard to find and not reproduced. Pontiac's look like an A-arm and uses three bushings. The other two are available as well for the two lower control arms (both front and rear). Hope this helps, I have a 60 Ventura.

There's an outfit out of Oregon called SMS fabrics that would have all the correct fabric for the Pontiac interior...not cheap, but you won't find any more original fabrics/vinyls anywhere...go here: http://www.smsautofabrics.com/products/seat-materials.php

While building a 61 Olds, I found I needed to replace the rear control arm bushings. Not available!
So I came up with this method to convert them over to something that was avalable and economical!

Got any pictures of that bad boy?

 

Old 1960-1970 Moog catalog shows K-326 for the forward bushing on the rear upper where it attaches to the rear end. Catalog shows that K-326 is the same as 60-61 Pontiac front end lower control arm bushing and also same as 62-64 Pontiac front end lower control arm rear bushing. Now you need to find someone that can interchange that number. Got no listing on the rear lower arm bushings for a 60. 60 Chevy rear lowers are listed so that is a no go.

Here's a K326 from you know where. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1958-59-60-61-PONTIAC-VINTAGE-MOOG-CONTROL-ARM-BUSHINGS-4-Front-Rear-Axle-USA-/331122117406?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d186a8b1e&vxp=mtr
