suspension bushing

i am refinishing the front end components on my 81 extende cab 4x2. i had to have the king pins refit and decided to take it all apart, clean and paint it up. there is a ring shaped bushing which fits under each coil spring, and sits on top of a sort of mushroom shaped spacer thing. these bushings both need replacing as they have worn though. i dont know what tey are called. and i cant seem to find any replacement parts on the net. any ideas?

Spring insulator? If that's what it is, it just keeps the spring from making noise as it moves around in the lower pocket. I can't seem to find them either.
