Thanks Achipmunk, I drove my shackle bushings out with a socket but they were steel and not brass. If I ever get the hang of the pic posting here I'll have to post some of my frame, it looks like they drove the truck through concrete from day one so when I busted it off the frame it came out looking like it rolled off the showroom floor. I even had to wire brush off some of the original frame paint to get to bear metal and not a rust or pit spot anywhere, wish I could say the same for the cab.
