Default Rod end question

I have rod ended lower control arms and I would like to swap out the rod end on the body side with a poly end. Does anyone make such a piece like that?

Ahhh, thought you meant you were looking to replace the piece entirely, not just the single end.

Some of the aftermarket rear, upper control arms for the '64-'76 GM A-bodies have something along the line of what you're looking for. However, the dimensions might not be correct for an F-body application. Look at the Hotchkiss or Edelbrock websites.
