Can any one help with finding or knowing of what cab bushings will work for a 1980 Chevy LUV 2WD long wheel base. Is there any body that still manafactures correct height body bushings?

I used hockey pucks cut down to the diameter needed. I found that regular automotive type bushing was giving me way to much slop and urethane style ones squeaked alot.

best part, is I seriously doubt there will be a shortage of hockey pucks.

I used a 1 3/4" hole saw and cut right into the center, and used the "plug" that comes out of the bit.
