During the final going over I noticed the Rear Spring Seat section in the shop manual http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1948_51truck/51ctsm0461.htmMy bushings are starting to break up with age but it doesn't seem like anyone sells replacements. Does anyone know where to buy new rubber bushings or if there's a substitute part lurking out there? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 30 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 30 | Did you look at LMC? They have pretty much everything you'd need to build the truck from scratch. For a hard to find part thats where I'd go.

Let me know the size (width) and if it has a hole in the center or not. Send and email to [email protected] with an address and I'll get a ship cost. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |

According to the Master Parts book, they used the same U bolts here for Pass from 38 to 53 and all 1/2 Ton from 47 to 53. I am guessing that maybe the bushings were the same. I am interested in this search too for my 38 Master. | | |
