Might be junkyard time.
I had to make a set years ago for a different vehicle. Found a similar bolt with wrong washer and made them fit.
Pretty common across a variety of years and models so shouldn't be hard to find a used set I'd say.

WOW funny you should post this. I just two days ago changed the lateral arms on my Deville. I PB blasted them the night before and my mechanic friend broke them loose with a impact gun. They were really rusted in that's why I sprayed them over night.
Ok i have been blasting them every day with pb lube to see if that helps when they try to remove them. I wanted a new set in case they have to cut them off. Where I live there is salt water flood puddles and sometime and we have to drive thru them that why there so rusted thanks

So you didn't try to remove them yet? Mine were rusted in pretty good and they came out pretty easy with the gun after they were soaked. But I understand wanting to have backup. Just a tip, the bolts come out easy when you drop the cradle otherwise they hit the gas tank from the back and are a bitch to wiggle out. Mine looked similar to this:
