Too bad they don't supply the spring that is used to have the door checks be effective as well, as they often break.

I think Tony's parts sells them.
For all of the things y'all have mentioned, as the linked seller had 179 door-sets, then these things are available somewhere. AND if the dimensions for the bushing holes are close, possible a little larger and not smaller, then the bushings can very possibly be found on the local auto supply HELP! rack OR your local GM dealer, or in a Chevy pickup resto parts catalog.
The '73-87 GM pickups will eventually need new pins and bushings. GM has part numbers on the springs and such, too. There were "thick" bushings and "thin" bushings, depending upon if the hole had gotten enlarged. Some of those doors would drop enough to wear a flat spot on the top of the striker bolt! We sold lots of these things for those pickups. Very common situation. But in the Chrysler realm of things, not so much, for some reason. New territory of sorts?
No doubt, later model Chrysler products have similar pins/bushings that are still available as these tended to be more universal in nature than specific.
I just looked in RockAuto for a '68 New Yorker. Found pin/bushing kits made by Dorman! So inexpensive you'll wonder why you hadn't found them sooner! Went into www.dormanproducts.com "OE Solutions" catalog, did the vehicle info for a '68 NY, same 38382 Dorman kit number, 4 thin bushings (same spec as the thin GM bushings!!, two pins of different lengths (same OD as the GM pickup truck pins!) in a kit, most probably on the HELP! rack. Where to get them locally? NAPA, O'Reilly, AutoZone, etc. NO NEED to go to a specialty vendor, it seems! That one kit shows to fit ALL A-body (first year to last), many B-body, C-body up to '78, plus many Dodge A/D vehicles. There's another kit with three pins and bushing sets.
So, check out Dorman Products' website for your vehicle, then click on the listing for door hinge pins and bushings in the drop down menu. Dorman used to be the premier vendor for nuts and bolts, but they've now expanded into "hard parts" that many OEMs have either stopped selling or have an improved version, or have then in more-accessible sales locations.
