M1009 front frame side shackle bushings

Can someone please help me find front upper shackle bushings that go into the frame for an m1009 Blazer 1984 model. We have ordered several and they have all been wrong.
This one uses 7/16 bolts. We have been ordering for the civilian K5 Blazer. Is there another civilian application that may fit this such as a 2500 or suburban etc? The TM shows a part in the diagram as #13 but there is no part number given for #13 and it’s hard for me to read when only having access to a cell. Is there a company that specializes in selling CUCV parts? I have been striking out. Thank You

Is this the one for the rear of the front shackle? Off Road Design has a very stout bushing, surround and hanger kit. I went with that instead of the very flimsy stock parts.

Yes, check out the ORD part. I put them on my Cowdog suburban and have had 35,000 miles trouble free ever since. I will make them part of any suspension work on the M1009’s as well.
