I don't know of anyone who sells rebuilt ones, but used ones are
fairly common if you ask around at VW swap meets. Beams from mid-68
to mid-71 are all alike. Beams from '66 to '73 are all alike if you
can reuse your steering knuckles.
There's always a risk in a used beam, because there is often bearing
wear/damage in old ones of unknown provenance. If you can get them
cheap, buy 2-3, and expect to take some time going thru them.
