You will find that with the ones made years ago, the seal may be dry and hardened. Supposedly Chevs of the 40s sells a new seal for the Oakie bushing assembly. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Oakie Bushing for a 1954 1/2 ton truck?

If you mean an external leak then it has nothing to do with the bushing or internal seal. Anyways, the leak into the rearend requires a new seal inside, not necessarily a new bushing. However to get there you have to remove the old bushings. The Oakie assembly does the job without having to take the whole rearend apart. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | The Filling Station had them in stock as of last week. | | |
