Where do I find this part?

[BHyatt]

I am looking for the bushing for the rear shackle. A PO decided it would just be too much trouble to find a set of factory leaf springs to fix a damaged set so they installed a set from something else. The shackle appears to have taken the brunt of the mismatch. I need the bushing that goes on the rear of the shackle where it attaches to the mounting bracket. The only bushing that the local parts people can find is the one that goes in the end of the leaf spring where it attaches to the shackle. LMC sells a set that includes all 4 bushings that is $28 shipped. This will be my choice as a last resort. $28 seems a little steep when all I need is one bushing. Has anyone found these elsewhere?

I keep forgetting this is a general forum. My truck is a '71.

try a local spring shop or an autoparts store where the guy knows how to find parts in a book

I need to find a spring shop in the Indianapolis area. That is a great idea. My guy that is old school about finding parts was not in today at my favorite parts store. I did call ECE and Jeff said to call the GM dealer tomorrow and they should be able to help.

Thanks for your suggestions.
