Bushings were no longer used. They have hardened and ground tubular pins that have tapered ends that mate with the tapered holes in the shackle arms. The tubular pins are filled with lubricant to lubricate the shackle arms. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

I try to help with the information that I do have and with the literature that I have available to photocopy. However, there are a great many Chevy dudes out there as well that have a vast amount of Chevrolet knowledge and they are happy to share with others also. They are the folks that makes Chevy Chatter so great, and this hobby so enjoyable! :cool2: HAPPY NEW YEAR! The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"
