Have been looking for urethane tailgate hinges for my 65 c 10 feet side The ones I have found have the bracket includeded for $70 the one for a Stepside is the urethane bushing only for $24 is the urethane bushings of the stepside the same size as the bushings for the fleet side I have the bracket and cannot see paying that much more money I don’t need the bracket Thanks Doug

I have also been looking, I did notice the $71.00 ones have a stainless steel reunion mount, so maybe that’s why it’s that price.

I'm not sure what your bushings look like...but I made my own from uhmw..you could have some made for cheap I would think...

I just asked the guy who makes them. He said you can buy just the reunion here.

By the time you taking have a machine shop turn this stuff down I don’t know which would be the least expensive if I had a lathe but I don’t it wouldn’t cost me any thing lol
