yes, they are. They make aftermarket ones i believe that give your vehicle a better ride. classic industries has them in their catalog i believe.

I could not find the original type equiptment bushings for mine but I did find a nice set from Energy Suspension, polyurethane. They fit nice, once I got the right ones, and look real good. I am still rebuilding so I have not driven them. Energy Suspension has a web site but I ordered them from a vendor in my hometown. Hope that helps. The older bushings with the metal sleeves like the ones you removed I could not find.

I know of the poly ones, I am trying to find OE type rubber. If all else fails that might be my onlhy option

I'm pretty sure you can get rubber OE type replacements. Try one of the board vendors - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/links/browselinks.php?c=2
