Need body mounts for 1993 bronco

Does anybody know where I can find replacement body bushings for my 1993 full-size bronco? My cousin works for ford, and we have found 3 mounts in the entire country, at a whopping 40 bucks a pop! I really want to try to restore this as close to a factory ride as possible, so I'm a bit leary of using aftermarket poly bushings. I put some poly bushings on my radius arms and one of em ripped a hole right through the bracket in 6 months, not to mention how much stiffer the ride was. I have purchesed new coil springs, dual shock towers, pivot bushings (ford originals), shackles, leaf springs, yada yada.

I seem to be hitting a brick wall on this one. Maybe somebody can recommend something else like explorer or truck bushings.

Thanks

Looks like poly

Thanks for the tip. They have the hardware kit for 279.00 but you still have to buy the poly bushings for another 80.00. Oh well. If you want it done right, it ain't cheap! From all my reading, I don't think I have any choice but poly, but it might be better anyhow - (It should be for the price!)

Thanks dude

I thought I saw body bushings further down the page? Maybe I saw something I didnt. Either way, the poly bushings should make that truck a lot tighter.

In further reading I am finding references to the poly bushings causing futher deterioration for the crack problem near the gutters on the roof. Ford had a TSB but no longer supports the issue. Now I'm totally confused. My truck is in mint condition bodywise except for the tiny cracks at the gutters. I don't want to accelerate deterioration by using aftermarket products.
