Stupid Question/Problem time!

Ok, so here it is:

I need the 2 plastic insulators that go on the front leaf springs, (where the center pins are) as well as the center pins themselves. Anywhere online you can get them???

I am going to swap in my 6,000lb X-Code springs before plow season gets here, but I removed the original center pins because they were VERY rusted, and the plastic was all cracked and broken.

I called the local Ford Steeler, and they couldn't help. Basically, he couldn't find the parts, and is supposed to "call you back when I find them."

Well... no call, and the other auto parts stores don't have them. I would rather not travel 45 miles to the only "Spring" shop around.

You can get center pins at any parts store. Take one of the old ones in so they can match up the size. No idea on the isolators.

WTF... I walked into Napa and said I needed center pins and they showed me about 50 bins with different diameters/lengths of bolts.
