1960 f100 rear lef spring bushing dilema (where to purchase)

I had went to the Truck Shop in Orange,CA and purchased the bushings for the leafs on the rear of my truck. Well they ended up selling me 8 bushings and each set of 4 are different
I have had a few issues with them and I think I'm done buying from them. I have called LMC and they supposedly don't offer the shackle bushings.Can somebody look up the bushings in The Truck shops catalog or website and tell me what the correct bushings are? For the rear leaf springs in the front and rear eye's and the shackle? Also how many of each if they are different or all the same. Thanks

 

Anyone familiar?

 

go get some plastic with the right durometer and make them on a lathe
takes high speed to turn and drill
they worked on my semi tractor and surely will work on a truck if you get the right grade, you can buy round pieces of plastic

 

I got the ones on my 65 from NAPA they came with the bolts

 

try reggie at kc obsolete.
he deals in old fords. located in miller mo.

 

I'm actually needing something local

 

+1 on napa, that's where I got mine

 

FYI

Shackle/bushings: RAYBESTOS Part # 5761013
NAPA lists this as Front then " Rear"
spring? NCP 2741160
Bolt Diameter : .562"
Dimension A : 2.12"
Dimension B : 2.12"
Dimension C : 4"
Dimension D : 1.1"
Dimension E : 1.1"


Bushiing RAYBESTOS Part # 5763325 or
5763325B
NAPA lists NCP 2746459
Dimension A I.D. : .568"
Dimension B : 2.24"
Dimension C : 2.74"
Dimension D O.D. : 1.128"

 

So you are saying the bottom eye bushing and upper shackle bushings are different sizes?

 

I would measure them because Raybestos is pretty confusing, you can go straight to their catalog a their site.

This is what they list for the rear springs.

Damn..I never thought buying bushings would be so difficult

 

This might help:

I don't know where you are in Socal, but try CW Moss in Orange, or Early Ford Store in San Dimas. Dennis Carpenter makes the shackle stuff for the Ford trucks...makes damn near everything, actually. Truck Shop was strictly Chevy until about 6-7 years ago, so they might not know all things Ford. CW has always been strictly Ford, as such with Early Ford Store. Other option is Delrin round stock and a lathe. I have done that with oddball stuff. Machines easily, so wouldn't take very long. Good luck

 

So I'm told from most that the bushings are all on size. They are an 1" in diameter?

 

I think they are 1.128 or about 1 1/8.

I would definitely measure the spring eyes and frame hole to be sure, the springs might be different.

Check this catalog out page 95.
