trying to get this van together before the 25th
rolling right along, was underside this morning and found the right
front rear spring bushing and the upper is really bad
-can't try rolling on that
havn't had a chance to do a search of my records for the bushings yet
-i should replace them all but the back end of the front end looks to be needing now, the others look OK
i need a minimum of 4 to do the bad ones
16 does the front end if i remember correct
figured it may be easier to say hey here
anyone have some spares, a part number or a source?
been about 6 yrs since i did em in my last 65 kind of forgetting
think it was pick up ones we used that had to be trimmed down?
sanks!

I got the part numbers posted somewhere on the site,,,,probably in the TreeVan section.
I shortened the 4 HB 862 bushings for each shackle,,,,,,same thing on the 2
orange neoprene bushings and sleeve for the front cartridge...
