Oh yeah if your looking for a stonk non stock bushing call energy suspension and give them the dimentions you need they probaly make a bushing that is really close to what you need,( i put all poly bushings on my 1979 F150 it doesn't handle like a porsche but it don't handle like most trucks either definitly worth the extra cent's

Oh no pessimism intended, just blatanly statling that most PO of these truck didn't take care of them so now we the righteous lovers of the 73-79 F series trucks must clean up their mess.

Don't own a chevy never will, and yes for those northern states you suck for using salt on your roads, to deice them
