c10 leaf spring bushing size?
I couldn't find an answer with my search...what size are the leaf spring bushings (front & shackle) for a 72' c10? Had to torch the bolts out and I want to replace with polyurethane.

Re: c10 leaf spring bushing size?
The old bushings in the spring measure 1.25". The spring width is 2.25". All that I can find are 1.5" O.D. bushings. I did find a napa part # 274-1185 but these are rubber and I want poly. Anyone with the same issue as me? This is holding me up. Thanks in advance.

I ended up going with a Moog part # SB319. These fit. Hope this helps someone.

Re: c10 leaf spring bushing size?
I went around and around trying to find an answer to this question a while back and never found a solution.
