When I got the shackles apart (new a couple of years back) to remove my old
rear end, I discovered that the spring eye bolts and bushings were shot too.
The right side was really bad. I called my favorite parts place (Chevy Duty)
but the parts were back ordered and would take three weeks. I decided to
call my local NAPA store. They could get everything I needed in two days.
The old guy that runs the place has a '50 wrecker of his own. It is nice to
have a sympathetic ear when you need parts. I think when I get the rear
mounted and all together, I'll do the same to the front end. It can't hurt.
