Hey guys,
I have a 1973 ford f250 2wd, and I was just wondering how much trouble it is to change the front sway bar bushings, rear frame shackle bushings, and rear leaf spring bushings. Thanks for any help you guys give me!

I don't think the front sway bar bushings should be too hard. The rears are a challenge mostly because you need to R&R old rusty bolts. Plan on plenty of penetrating oil, an impact wrench and/or big breaker bar and new U bolts when you pull the springs. Fine threads on the U bolts take a beating with time and rust. Even if you manage to remove the nuts they will likley be toast. Best just to cut them. For the bushings themselves, there are probably tools or methods to change them but I'd probably just take them to my local spring shop after removal for bushing replacement.
