Prothane Bushing Kit

Hey all,
I'm picking up a '78 F150 today and I'm going to be swapping my '65 sheet metal onto it. I want to replace all the bushings with new urethane ones. I'm looking at this kit from Summit:
http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=140&x=25&y=10
Anybody had any experience with these? Will this work for my swap? Summit shows the 1st year this will fit is '66, but I can't find a reason why it wouldn't on a '65?

make sure you coat them with something Urethane bushings are prone to sqeak
