    Is there a source for leaf spring bushings for the ‘54 ford car?

    I’m accumulating parts for an AOD and 8.8 swap in my Country Squire and if I have to unbolt springs to swap the rearend it’s probably a good opportunity to replace the 70 year old bushings.

    I’ve seen a few kits online and some individual bushings over a wide range of costs.

    Is there a kit or source for quality bushings that are likely to fit and last?

  3. Shoebox Central list spring bushings, bolts and shackles for your car that look to be reasonably priced.

    Bought the ones for my '54 Ranch Wagon at Concours in Carson City, NV My guess is that they will be having a 10% off sale for Memorial Day shortly.

    Keep the recommendations coming!
    I’m in Canada so I either need a place that doesn’t have obscenely expensive shipping (Dennis Carpenter wants $48 to ship $8 worth of bushings lol) or a place that will ship to my PO Box in New York State.

    now that I have part numbers it will be easier to search,
    Prices are all over the place, from $1.97 per bushing to $10+ for a single bushing!

    I was able to cross reference the busing to one that fits a ‘53-‘62 corvette. This has opened up a lot of options for sources as early corvettes happen to have quite the following lol.
