Another suspension question

Guys. Has anyone out there used urethane suspension bushings/ parts on your truck? I just scored a really nice 65 and I plan a ground up/ resto-rod for it and along with some other modifications, I like the idea of the urethane bushings (I think)
If you have any good or bad info on this, please pass it on including manufacturers you would recommend.
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Urethane is the ONLY way to go. (Like comparin' bias-ply tires to radials.)

AMEN to that. New poly's on my '68 made a world of difference in the ride, handling and especially in reduced railroad crossing noise.

Any recommendations as to manufacturer? Do the bushings come in different hardnesses?

Went with Energy Suspension poly's replacement on most of the bushings on my truck. Whole lotta lotta difference now. Their worth every penny.

Gonna do poly body mounts soon.

G'luck!
