Re: If you haven't replaced your leaf spring bushings
Did you use urethane or stock bushings? I have to do mine and I'm leaning toward urethane.
Re: If you haven't replaced your leaf spring bushings
I used urethane they are supposed to last longer and be more rigid. The rear steamed to help more than the front on mine. You still have old style truck steering but it's great.

Where did you get them ? Part # ? I have a 68 W100 that needs them.

Awesome, thanks.
Got the entire truck down to one tiny leak. Pretty proud of that. Think I can stop the last leak this week. Then the bushings and some shocks.

Re: If you haven't replaced your leaf spring bushings
Just curious if that may be my steering problem?
I just picked up a '66 D200 and the front end needs help.
Every time I hit a bump it'll pull. Sometimes left, sometimes right.
The problem is, I don't know which way. It makes for an adventurous drive down small country roads!
It's not safe and I really can't drive it until I get it fixed.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

It really helped with mine. Check excess play in stearing box may need to be adjusted. Shocks can give similar problems.

What was the part number for amazon if you have it?

I spoke with these guys and they have the parts. Less than $150 for all.
