Agreed. NOS has a cure date and an expiration date right on the package with the NSN. Ask about the date and packaging. The most current NOS I've seen expire 2023. They come individually packaged and if the seller claims they have no packaging, assume they were unpackaged to hide the dates...
Looking at other builds that have custom bushing assemblies, I came across these.
Not exact fit by any means, but there are a couple on here that with some minor mods could work in a pinch (especially as the thinner bushing)...
On a side note, my rear bushings failed today on the A1R. I do a visual inspection every time the cab is up, but I was driving down the road today and I heard a sort of "clunk". When I got home, I looked around the cab and can see the bushings are pretty much gone (a few chunks of random...

Yeah, I'm going to take a stab at it just because I need three sets of bushing for my A1R cab. I think I can justify the expense in my case (not so much that I want to do it but there simply are no other alternatives). I don't mind paying a fair price for something someone actually makes, but...
