Ok
Here's the scoop so far.
Talked to BG, they do not stock the 3/4 ID bushing. Don't ask me why I have one, I don't know how it's possible according to them. Asked them for the manufacturer and a part number.
Energy suspension is the company. Called Energy, they told me that Autozone should have what I need as they stock Energys stuff. Below is a link to their page with measurements and part#s.

BG told me the pn was 9.8143 but as I look at the page I see the OD is wrong (I think) for the supplied shock. I don't have mine close so I can't measure.
Seems like a 9.8108 might work better.
Check your OD as well as ID then run down to Autozone.
I'm gonna do it on my way to work just to see if they have it.
BTW
Talked with BG about the problem they are creating and was promised it would be brought up to the higher ups. Don't hold your breath.

The good thing is we can help whoever else runs into this problem. AND maybe just maybe BG will understand that there is a problem and fix it.
Haven't checked yet but I believe '77 or '78 started the 5/8 inch stud.

Do you have the part number for the parts at AZ? I wanted to check them out but don't have a number to ask them for... Thanks!

Did you measure the ID of your shock hoop?
That will tell you which one.
You know you need a 3/4 ID bushing, so, measure the ID of your shock hoop to give you the OD of your bushing. They're all listed there then add an R (red) or a G (black)and you have your PN.
