Who sells a good pitman arm?
I've checked at all the local parts houses, and even Moog's website. I just can't seem to find one.
The Pitman arm isn't a wear item, it just splines onto the steering gearbox and seats on the centerlink bushing, so I can see why the aftermarket isn't marketing them. Best advice is goto GM or the junkyard.

Yes, I've read that it is a non-wear item but I'm replacing my steering box with an aftermarket one. I dunno, maybe I'm confused about what the pitman arm actually is. In my crappy haynes manual it shows the pitman arm attached to the bottom of the box. Looks like an idler arm but it's not; the idler arm is on the other side. I guess I'll be giving GM a call.
Pitman arm is just a piece of steel. there is a sprocket (i think) in the steering box end, and a hole fer the bolt from the centerlink on the other end. Unless your old one doesnt fit, or is bent, just reuse it...
