Ok guys I have a 1970 c10 short bed with leaf springs. The GVWR on the plate says 5000 lbs. The vehicle weighed 3400. It has overload springs. My problem is that I bought rear leafspring bushings for it twice and they all have been too big 1.5". The OD of the OEM metal sleeve is actually 1.25". Energy suspension says they have no record of such a vehicle, and do not make a kit for it. Has anyone had the same problem?
