You will need the Okie bushing removal tool whether you find the dowels or not. But you will need to determine which bushing you have in order to get the right replacement. My truck is a 51 so used the bushing without the dowel pins.I tried fabricating a bushing puller but failed miserably, so got one from a vendor and returned it. I think the dowel pins will have to be drilled out to remove them. Someone will be along to confirm that. The rearmost original bushing does get pushed to the rear when the new okie bushing is installed.
