Parts Help 66 GMC

I'm having a hard time finding parts for my 66 GMC 3/4 ton 2wd leaf spring truck. I'm currently working on the rear leaf springs and can't find replacement bushing and I need one shackle. Everything on LMC is for a 4 wd truck.

Re: Parts Help 66 GMC

So I thought I had this all figured out. I ordered these as they looked the closed to what I needed. http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=SEBB018. Turns out they are to big in both diameter and lenght. I need a bushing that looks like the one in the link that will fit in a 1 1/4" id eye hole and has an overall length of 2 3/4". I went to the parts store and everything I could think of they didn't have in stock. Can anyone help?

Kinda a long shot but if you have a local spring shop maybe give them a try.
