Re: leaf spring bushings

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.

Re: leaf spring bushings

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
