Front shock "top hat"

I've downloaded the parts catalog the other day, but can't read it - so please help. I need the part number for the front shock top hat. It's the plastic boot thing with a rubber bump stop in the bottom of it. It is the part where the shock slides up through the hole, and this sits on top of the shock rod, and below the shock mount. A picture of this was posted about 3 days ago, but can't find it.
Also, I'm putting on all new shock mounts - do you think I ought to replace these top hats too? My OEMs still look good, just thinking brand new since everything will be apart anyway.
Thanks alot.

You need the bolt for the top of the shock and a dustcover?
54 is the bolt and 49 is the dustcover.
Just making sure, I have the camaro parts book on my PC.

Yes, those are it. Thanks alot for your help guys. Really appreciate it! Thought while everything is apart, might as well replace the 9 yr old parts with new.
Thanks again.

I did not even put dustcovers back on my shocks.
Not going to be driven much anymore though, at least not in rain and such.

I posted another question, but..
I looked up the dust cover part # on GMPartsdirect. The dust covers are #49 on the exploded schematic. I'm able to read the parts manual now, and right below the dust cover there's another part number (22128877), but it doesn't have a corresponding number on the schematic. It says it's a bumper. Do I need this? I've got Eibach springs, thinking that maybe I need this?
