Having a hard time finding a shackle bushing

I am working on my 85 C10 short bed and trying to find a replacement shackle bushing. I ordered a set from Napa and they are too big. I need a 1.375 bushing and all they show is the 1.5" bushing. I have replaced all my suspension and steering parts with MOOG brand but they do not offer a shackle bushing. I can not seem to be able to find a bushing this size for this truck. It currently has a 12 bolt in it and isn't factory since they only came with 10 bolts in that year. So I don't know if the springs and shackles are a different year as well. I would like to stay with a rubber bushing if possible.

I am already out the expense of the bushings and have thought about just buying a set of new shackles but I am putting a flip kit on this truck and don't want to buy the shackles and then have to turn around and buy a set of drop shackles if I need it. If I have to run the poly bushings then I will but would rather stay with rubber. 1.375 is the size I need. Any help would be appreciated. These two bushings is all I am waiting on to put the back half of my truck back together.

Thanks. I gave up as no one could get the right bushing. I ended up just buying new shackles for it. Going to start putting it back together in the morning.
