Front leafspring frame bushing?
I dont know what else to call it.Anyway its on my 78 F250 4x4,these are rivoted on the frame at spring/shackle location,and were cracked at each of the 3 rivot locations,so I ground off the rivots,and knocked them off.# on it is C7TA.Is this a Ford only part #,or can I get these things somewhere else.

2-C7TZ-5348-A .. Front Spring Shackle Bushing (C7TA is the ID number prefix, C7TZ is the part number prefix)
2-D7TZ-5348-A .. Front of Front Spring Bushing
2-D7TZ-5348-B .. Rear of Front Spring Bushing
These are no longer supplied by Ford, take the part numbers to NAPA, they can cross them to the brand they sell.
EDIT: FTE sponsor Green Sales (800-543-4959) has 10 new genuine Ford shackle bushings: C7TZ-5348-A. Green is located in Ohio, and sells new old stock obsolete Ford parts.

Yes the flange of this is triangular,it has 3 holes in it where it rivets to the frame rail.the spring shackles pivot on this,therewere cracks at each rivet location,looked unsafe,so I ground rivets off,and knocked assembly off the frame.If the flange wasnt damaged,it does look like a new bushing could be pressed in

Sorry for the confusion,I should have taken a photo.The link Mil1ion sent clearly shows it in figure 3,view Z.the # cast in the part is C7TA-5335-A.Maybe I'll have to take one off another truck,and have new bushing pressed in.

Upper shackle bushing or something along those lines. Rock auto has them. Leave the rivets, you just need to remove the sleeve from the casting. I didn’t have any trouble but I did utilize the torch, mind where you aim it.
there is also aftermarket polyurethane
Energy Suspension 4.2130G; Front Shackle Bushings Black for 67-79 Ford F250 4wd
and others
