"I am thinking of replacing the bushings and oil seal the old fashion GM way, but really do not know where to find the correct rear bushing and oil seal."

Jim,
SWEET's advice is excellent. If you are going to get the 3.55 R&P, you will not need to worry about how to get out the old bushing and seal. You will knock them out from the inside (instructions come with the R&P kit). SWEET also has an excellent photo-log of the installation.
There is no need for the "correct bushing and seal". Use the Oakie bushing that comes with the R&P parts. As SWEET suggests, also buy the installation kit.
Call Patrick's directly and ask if he gives a Stovebolt discount. Tell him you have heard good things about him on this discussion board.
