Lower control arm bolt removal? 120-130 1967

I kinda suspected this would happen...

The lower control arm bolt is frozen to the inner bushing sleeve.

Phil S's instruction at vclassics says "Undo the nut at the rear of the big bolt ...and remove the bolt. If you need to tap it out, put the nut back on partway so you don't damage the threads."

Tapping is not gonna do it. The bolt is froze to the inner sleeve and visibly bent as well. I'm glad it's not froze to the crossmember, but I wasn't planning on cutting the bolt.

Any hints on getting this old one out so I can finish this job today....?

-- or more likely ---

Where do I get new bolts, and why didn't I buy them before I started this?

Thanks
