Who sells a complete polyerathan bushing set for a 70 2wd with coils in the back?

Or even just the whole front end kit.

A "bushing" kit for that truck would be pretty small. It would have bushings for:
trailing arms
track bar
sway bar
...and maybe shocks

Other parts of the frontend are not bushings in the typical sense of the word, GM went to those in '73. Our trucks have shafts with metal screw on sleeves for attaching the A-arms. I'm sure that's not their tech name, but if you search on ECE, CPP, LMC, etc websites you should be able to get a pic of these shafts.

Here's a pic. The bushing is circled in red. Like he said, rubber or urethane are only for 73 and newer trucks.

So in a way our control arm bushings are metal and just use grease? Or how do they work?

Only the rear trailing arm bushings are availabe in poly-urethane. The front end rebuild kits are rubber only for pre-1973 trucks.

I went with the kit from www.p-s-t.com for my project truck
