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...

Thanks. Yeah, I need three tops and three bottoms (minimum). A gallon of ECON 80 hardness, black UV tint, a can of release, and a gallon of mold 30 runs about $350-400 shipped. That's in line with what I can purchase three sets of crusty old NOS bushings That leaves me with a couple spare...

Gonna take a stab at this in a couple weeks. Ordering in the materials. What do you recommend as a material for the mold? No 3D printer here, but I have a set of OEM cab bushings that I can cast a mold. I've only messed with this sort of thing once for a single piece I needed and I actually...

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...
