Hey guys, need some help. Does anyone in the aftermarket world make a correct bushing for the shackles on the front diff of a 67-68 k10? I bought some from lmc.. Not really any close to the same.. Here is a pic

I don't remember mine being any issue, though when I did work on my leafs I had a local spring shop supply all the parts.

Google your area for spring shops, the type that make springs and service trucks up to the big rigs and try giving them a call?

Things may have changed over the years though...

Have you checked with places like ORW or 4wheel parts?

I ran into the same problem when resorting my 67 4x4 I used the same replacement bushing you have pictured there an modified it in a lathe.
