Max had the lower inners.

I'm not sure what PackardV8 was thinking but the inner bushings, both upper and lower, have pretty much been continuously available, it's just that we hear a lot less about the lowers because their service life seems to be so much longer than the uppers. For those who might be interested in replacement bushings in polyurethane, I know that Dwight Heinmuller has been working on a project to do this for a while, if you're interested you might contact him. He already supplies the V8 Watts linkage bushings in polyurethane and may be also considering the torque arm donuts, also in urethane.

When installing upper or lower inners, don't forget to "neutralize" the suspension before final tightening or your TL may be constantly fighting against their neutral point.
