"Would you believe...."

Sometimes it's not a big deal, sometimes what they send is totally useless.

It's bad enough that most body sheet metal is not accurate, but worse if suspension parts are that far off. I think that I will order through my local Napa auto parts store so that at least these suspension or steering parts can be easily returned if necessary.

Railroadman, I believe I have NOS bushings here. You may have them if you pay for the shipping costs. If interested I will have to dig them out. I can send photos if you are interested. Sorry to hear that you are a victim of the new norm. Let me know if I can help.

Thank you very much - that is a kind offer!

I did some preliminary cleaning and prep work tonight and think I may use the new assemblies. Will get back on it either tomorrow, or later in the week. I'll post back here when I figure which way I'm going. It would have been ideal if parts were interchangeable from one to the other, but as you say these days that's just not apt to happen.
