Assuming that you have original strut rods, the GM part number for the bushings is GM #3775762.

Keep in mind that, from a judging standpoint, the original rods didn't use that style bushing

Yes, for those that don't know, these are the GM replacement bushings which have a steel outer frame. The original bushings were vulcanized-in-place and have no steel frame. However, albeit any possible minor judging penalty, these are the only bushings I recommend. I absolutely do not recommend using the type that have no outer steel frame and simply insert into the strut rod orifice. These may better simulate original configuration but, in my opinion, it's not worth the trade-off (except, possibly, for "trailer queen" type cars).
