there is a spicer #450-1013 that fits a 69 camaro,is this a good forged steel piece??

I would expect it to be forged like all other steering components.
Have a look at the parting line.. Should be about 1/8-3/16" wide and not a thin flashing.
Same as when you check a crankshaft.

Every Moog or Trw idler or pitman even tie rods and relay rods I have seen were forged. There is too much liability for them not to be otherwise.
