On this subject...I have a pair of nice original trailing arms with my new bushings installed in them to put on my '67. I have new u bolts, but how bad are the bushing bolts to get out usually? Does anyone have the size of the bolts handy? Maybe I'll buy new ones to reinstall incase they come off ruined.

The trailing arm bolts are 1 1/8 inch. They weren't hard for me. I sprayed them with penetrating oil, then used a hydraulic jack underneath an adjustable wrench to break them loose. after about 1 turn they could be loosened up with a ratchet and socket fairly easily.
