They're not in the catalog, but I think he does sell them. Worth asking.

Not in the catalog as they aren't in stock and there is no date on them.

Are you talking the springs bolts? When I did mine I used a cut-off wheel on a grinder (6" grinder), my bushings were shot so I didn't try to save them.

Measure first so you can replace. I would unbolt if usable, all these parts are going to add up when you go to put it together. Find a good a donor truck.

Yep, just need to break it loose, then you could use a ratchet. if they're gone like you say, you could cut or grind them.
