67 GMC Component Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nearing completion of complete teardown of my 1967 3/4 ton wideside. Starting search for replacement parts and having difficulty on two items:

1) The truck has rear leaf springs - I want to replace the bushings but only can seem to find parts for '68+ trucks and/or 4-wheel drive. Picture is below showing configuration. Any suggestions on sources?

2) The truck has power steering - before teardown the power steering control valve was leaking PS fluid (needed to add some to pump every month or so). I was looking for a replacement control valve or rebuild kit - can't seem to find one of these either. Advise/comments? (picture is below - I had just removed the engine and the pump is setting on the frame still connected to the control valve.)

I can have a set made up here in Washington and ship them to you. A little expencive but can be done. I would convert your power steering to an integral gear instead of the assist style your truck has now. WES

Not that it will help,most likely,but the ,68 spring bushings will be the same as well as earlier. But,I know you can find 69-up anywhere and earlier is hard.
