Slipper leaf spring roller? Cushion? Thingy?
Hello all,
I am trying to find a source for the roller at the slipper end of the front leaf spring on my '66 F250 4X4. I am not sure what it is actually called but regardless on what term I try to use, I come up with bupkis. Searching on this forum, I did find a graphic of the parts catalog that someone posted and it shows a number of 5A342 but it is preceded with a little star and I am not sure what that signifies as to the prefix.
I see a lot of trailer parts suppliers show slipper leaf springs so maybe if I had the dimensions of the actual part, I might be able to see if they have anything that would work but all I have on the truck is the pin that runs through the center.
Can anyone give me a hand with this or a source for the part?
Thanks

Thank you for your reply & offer!! Yes, if you could get me some basic dimensions, I would appreciate it. Since it seems they are unavailable, I was thinking of trying to find some polyurethane bushings that could be modified to work or try to turn down some UHMW plastic stock to fit.
Thank you again.
Thank you again.
