Re: any one replaced the bushing in rear shackle in 4x4 ?
I got my greaseble shackle bushings from ord a few months ago. The originals are kind of a pain to get out without an air hammer. The steel sleeve on the outside of the bushing that presses into the shackle will fight you the whole way.

GM PN 468481
I used RB-117 so did Chaparrallman1974 see where he posted his receipt from the spring shop here - https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...&postcount=150 |

The whole rear shackle assembly is GM 3941784/6270217/14022597. Only the 3941784 looks like the assembly line unit.
![]() The bushing is a tough one, as the GM parts books are confusing on this part. Since the shackle is listed as fitting K/5, K10, C20, and K20, the bushing 3941634 or MOOG SB319 looks to be the right one. Dimensions are listed below.

Interesting. I based my post on the original parts catalog. 67-72 4wd use the same bushing, but the shackles from 67-68 are different from 69-72. OP should be able to measure his and determine.
