You can have the U bolts made at a local spring shop, & might try them on the bushings also. The pcs I used from the Ford truck ,were ther plates that the U bolts pass through(junk yard item). Good luck,crazyL

Don't laugh.......JCWhitney sells the spring bushings for our trucks. It's the only place I've found that I can get them for my 72 K-10. Napa lists everything up to 67, then the book skips to 73. They totally bypass our trucks.

So just totally bypass NAPA.
J/K, the NAPA we deal with at work has our trucks in the books...even lists the 305/351 engines! The trouble is only one of the guys there reall knows how to use the books.

That could very well be the problem here Andy, The guys don't like to look in the books very hard when I go in there, and I'm always after something that isn't in the puter. I'd quit buying parts at Napa, but I don't wanna drive 60 miles to get to any other store. They kinda got a monopoly here.........the same guy owns the 3 stores closest to me as well.....but he's a good friend of my dad's, so we get a decent discount.
