Yea I've looked and I've called parts stores on the whole control arms itself. The parts stores say passenger washer to the core support and the driver to the firewall. Is that right? I'm in the middle of putting poly bushes in and I haven't touched this thing in 2 weeks lol

Are you asking about the ~2" diameter washers that cage the control arm bushings onto the upper inner shaft on your 1986 C10?  Look at Figure 5 in the 1986 Service Manual, Section 3C-9 (pg 295).
