Re: Where to buy..rear leaf spring bushings?

Actually you can not buy them at any auto parts in the US not Tennessee anyway! When I restored my truck I took mine out but never did find them for a 2wd just 4wd is all I could fine. ended up using drop leafs so I quit looking. Sorry not much help you might try a spring shop.

This Prothane retailer seems to have rear 2wd spring bushings for 67-72s:

Compare your bushing OD specs with the chart. I noticed either 1-1/2" or 1-3/8" applied to shackle frame bushing OD. HTH.

PST sells urethane bushings and reasonable as well. I just bought the rear control arm bushings for $20 to my door. I plan to get a full set for the 4X4 Blazer as well. Just measure the ID of the spring and you'll get em.
