eccentric/cam bolt, lower control arm, 4X4

Buddy of mine (01 3500 4X4) installed tubular upper and lower control arms last night. He had to cut the eccentric/cam bolts as they were seized in the bushings. I've seen quite a few posts about the trials and trivialities of trying to get these bolts out and wonder if anyone has the OEM part number.

We found that NAPA had something that would probably work, but looking at what's on their site it would be preferable to have the OEM parts.

Just figured if someone out there was able to post the part number it might make it easier next time someone needed these blasted bolts.

Guess I was lucky when I did mine, a few whacks and they popped right out . . .
