Hello!

We are restoring a 1987 Chevrolet Caprice Brougham, VIN 1G1BU51H1HX213923, Engine 305cid, Transmission TH700 R4.

The body and the frame of car were restored separately, now when we started putting them back together, it seems that  14 bushings that are between frame and body need to be replaced. I have browsed massive amount of webpages but I can’t find them.
I have added links two pictures trying to explain, what these bushings look like and what are their dimensions.
Could you please check, if it is possible to order these bushings from you or could you recommend where we could find them?

Thanks in advance,
Taavi Tamm

Something like that you may have to try Chevrolet.If you can find them aftermarket (Classic Industries) would be your best bet.Problem being if you wan to keep the quiet ride, you need to stick with the soft rubber OE style.Aftermarket like Energy Suspensions and the such may have poly bushings, but they dont offer the isolation quality of the softer rubber
