Spring Bushing Part# problems again

So, I'm changing bushings on a different truck than my last post. A '70 with standard springs, no flex-o-matic. I ordered from NPD the F-5781-3 and they aren't even close. Very small.

I'm thinking F-5781-5 is the correct, even though it doesn't say it on the site. I called and had them measure and they said it was 1 1/4" diameter. What i measure I need 1 1/8 diameter.

Can anyone confirm for me that the F-5781-5 from NPD will work on a standard 70 2wd without flexomatic?

Or could it be a F-5781-4?

Thanks!

I would go with a local parts store chain. Get the bushings and not pay freight.

That's what I ended up doing...It cost more, but at least it will work.

Here are some places that show B7C5781A but I'm not sure I'd use NOS rubber.
