Thread: Project Special K

I went online today looking for bushings for my 48 f1 trucks rear leaf springs. Eaton is making new springs, and Kim at their shop nicely encouraged me to buy their hanging kit which was complete except for bushing, which she said they can't get anymore. So I went to Sacramento Vintage Ford's web site and found two different kinds of bushings for the rear leaf springs, so not sure if I got the right ones or not. I got "REAR SPRING EYE BUSHING" but also noticed they had "REAR SPRING HANGER BUSHING" but not for f1's. Not sure the difference between the two? Anyone know, and if so what will I need?

Have you tried Bob Drake...? They do sell pu parts now as well.
