Can I replace rear shock studs (leaf rear)? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PROBLEM SOLVED! See follow-up post below for solution.

The threads are severely messed up (beyond repair) on one of the rear shock studs on my '72 SWB leaf spring truck (2WD). Are these replaceable? If so, where can I find the replacement studs? Looked at the various FLAPS online (NAPA, AutoZone, etc.) as well as the usual aftermarket sources (LMC, ECE, etc.) and can't find a listing. Found the front studs at ECE but that's it.

And if not, what are my options beyond finding a good donor? Any help is greatly appreciated!
