I've checked LMC, asked of American Classics, and had a NAPA owner search for me...and nada! | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | yer looking for something that isn't available, they were originally some rubberized plastic .... look for something that'll do the same job - check the Help! rack, #38374 bronze door hinge bushings, ream as necessary, last forever with an occasional dab of oil when you lube the truck

It takes about 10 miutes per bushing once you get the dimensions right.
