Transmission linkage bushing

I have a 1978 F250 4x4 with a C6 that needs new bushings in the linkage and I'm having a hard time finding one of them. Below is a picture of the bushing I'm looking for. The shaft OD is 7/16".

Does anyone know where I can get one of these?

We sold bushings in packages off "The Help Line" and "Dorman" at our Advance Auto Parts store.

I checked with Advance, Autozone, and Oriellys and they don't have any that fit the 7/16" diameter shaft. I didn't check Napa, but assuming I'll have the same luck.

I'll try there tomorrow. Advance, Autozone, and Oreillys didn't carry any that size.

Advance, Autozone, Oreillys, NAPA, and NPD didn't have the bushing.

If anyone else finds themselves in the same situation, then go on Grainger and order a nylon flanged sleeve, item # 246R85. It fits like a glove!
