This might be a stupid question

Hello
After years of my old 65 sitting in a field in Texas it didn’t much for the front or rear suspension I’m looking to replace the panhard bar with rubber bushings and also rear leaf spring bar bushings they are completely shot on my truck. Does Moog make these parts I’m finding several Moog numbers for rear leaf spring bar and finding none for panhard bar any help greatly appreciate
Thanks
Pete

Re: This might be a stupid question

Do you have coil springs in the rear or leaf springs? The coil spring rear uses a panhard bar to center the axle. There's 2 arms that go to the front of the truck, but those aren't springs.

The leaf spring trucks don't have a panhard bar because the leafs also keep the axle centered

You'll need to be more specific. There are 2 rear suspension types: Leaf Spring & Truck Arm.

The T/A is an I-beam construction. Is that what you're calling "bars"?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
