Leaf spring bushings

My '64 F250 needs new bushings, especially in the front. Who sells them? Polyurethane or rubber? DC and Rock auto didn't offer everything. LMC has polyurethane kits.
Thanks. John

I have coils up front but all suspension bushings on my truck front and rear were replaced with black poly. No regrets so far.

You could buy some Delrin and make your own!

Your F250 rides rough enough as it is, no? Do yourself a favor and use rubber bushings. I did all mine in my '65 and at the time all rubber bushings were still available. It's a hellova job though.

You can get bushings from Eaton Detroit Spring.

Steve, you must have too much time on your hands these days.

Next thing you know, you’ll be carving a set of innie wheels from a tree you downed on your property a few decades ago . . . 👍

Ha Ha, when I was working, I used to have plenty of time and equipment to make stuff. Not so much now being retired, now that I am under the "boss's", surveillance steadier than before! Never thought about using old wood for wheels. I do have a couple of innie center that I removed from rust rims to be installed on good rims swapped from newer versions! Does that count!

On a serious note, I have used Energy Suspension brand parts and found them decent quality.
