Default Drive Shaft Bushing ?

Does anyone know where to find rubber drive shaft bushings?
Local GM dealer says I have to buy the whole shaft....
I am upgrading to alum. rear bushing and need new one for front.

Yep, I know you can just buy couplers from a BMW dealer for our Vettes versus the whole TT from Chevy BUT I did not know that there were different sized bolts for different years. More then likely BMW changed the bolts and Chevy had to follow suit? Anyone know for sure????
