Bolts and Bushings and Such
 
I know there are similar posts in the truck thread, but wanted a fresh perspective with today's availability of parts.

I'm looking for the best body bushing kit (rad support and tub cushions along with bolts). Poly or rubber? And who offers the best kit that is close to oem. I have some parts in my cart at motorcityk5 but the shipping is outrageous.

I've google searched a few "complete bolt kits" and see some are available. Have any of you purchased these? Again, looking for OE style. What have your experiences been like?

Last one. I noticed I have a crack in one of my rear leaf springs. Who makes the best replacement springs? What about bushings/hardware? I had to cut my shackles out because they became one piece.

My best go to guy has always been Wes at classic heartbeat truck parts, if he is not busy just fun to BS with

Nuts and bolts by far McMaster car, next day delivery

Shipping is just part of rebuilding these old trucks, no getting around it, if you can let me know how

X2 for Wes. I bought the rubber (not poly) kit and it was perfect.
