Real leaf spring bushings

Don't ask, I've been to many sites and they seem to thing that the Galaxie had front leaf springs...
 anyway.
My 62 wagon needs new bushing for the springs. again I've been to many sites and none seem to
carry a "whole" package.
  what do I need.. and I mean all bushing
front bushing (goes into frame)  with bolt I know
two per side of hanger bushing.. they sell a a kit, shackle and bushing
then there is the bushing for the rear frame mount.
So if anyone had done this replacement... let me know... where you bought, and $$$$
Best
Dave

Re: Real leaf spring bushings

For the shackle bushings I just went to a shop that sells leaf springs and went thru the bins and found some that fit. I do recall them being a little long so had to cut a bit of length. Been a while since I did that job, but I think I did the same for the front hanger bolts.
BTW...how is rear Lincoln install going?

Re: Real leaf spring bushings

Do an eBay search for them.  I bought all my bushings on eBay for a decent price.  When I did the search that I linked I found one company that sold new shaclkes with bushings and the front eye bushings.
