Can't Find Spring Bushings

Ok, I'm in a bind. I've been to every shop in town and no one can find me a set of bushings for my 1-ton rear leaf springs. I want to pull mine apart and replace the bushings and hardware, but I don't want to pull it apart until I have what I need. I just stopped at a really good 4WD shop close to me. The Energy Suspension catalog lists a part # for a 67-71 4WD 1-Ton rear leaf and a 73/87 2WD 1 Ton leaf, but not a '69 2WD 1-ton leaf (did you get all that??). Does anyone know if I can use either of these?

Re: Can't Find Spring Bushings

That would be great. Can I assume these are the factory rubber bushings and not poly? I don't really need poly, but if they're available, I'd take 'em. Any info would be great. Thanks!

Tell me what measurements you need. It's kind of a pain to measure in there, but I'll try.

Also, the guy at the shop I went to said the original bushings may have been "vulcanized" into the eyelets? Has anyone heard of this? He just said they might have to be torched out, which isn't a problem. I had just never heard of this before...
