1968 k10 rear leaf spring shackle bushings needed!
 

Hey guys, do you know if anyone makes a shackle bushing for the rear of a 67-68 4x4 ?? I can't find anything. This truck I'm restoring it to original so I'm not switching brackets on the frame . Thanks!

different than 60-66? lmc sells the 60-66.

not sure if 60-66 is the same or not, i know mine are roughly 2.5 length, 1.5 diameter.

I thought about buying some leaf spring bushings that same diameter and turning them down in a lathe to my length i need.

Are they bronze bushings or rubber? If LMC doesn't have them you might have to machine your own. But be aware they need holes and slots for grease distribution.
Also, on my 66 the original bronze bushings had been completely worn through and had also worn the steel of the shackle and hanger so they were no longer round. In this case a stock bushing would no longer work.
