Question Front A-Arm Bushings

I want to replace the A-Arm bushings on an '84 front end. A couple of questions - Any "best practices" about changing these bushings? Where can I get a good price on a set of these bushings. They cost a lot at the GM dealer.

'94 F-150 from the "F word" company. I'll admit it...good truck. Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm.
'79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.
'76 Sierra Grande (Orange) - hate isn't too strong a word. Kid who bought it turned it into a hot rod.
'68 C-10 R.I.P. - Dad's old truck...too far gone to resurrect.
'59 C-50 - with hoist. Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said.

I bought mine at NAPA. I have enough to do both upper a-arms, sitting here new in the box if you need them. I'll give you a great price on them. (I am in BC)

As for changing them, I recommend burning the hell out of the rubber as mine were seized onto the shafts and were a real b!tch to get out. I never want to go through that again!
