I would clean those up, they look to be structurally sound. I have not seen replacements. PST kits give you new washers only and I reused my original sleeves (they where in about the same shape as your's too).

you can only get them from a 73-80 truck.  My PST bushing came with Sleeves for the bushing and washers.

Maybe mine did too come to think of it.

I have cut them off, and welded tube in place before to rebuild them.

3 of them are not bad at all! but three of them if i hold them up you can see through them, i stopped trying to clean them with a corrosion wheel due too they were flaking apart! Think i am going to get some rolled steel, and just make new ones! Thanks guys!
