rad support bushing
so, i'm redoing an 89 cummins. been reading up and packing as much stuff as i can into my noggin, only prob is they ran this truck into the ground and then pure age. just put new fenders on and painted it, however i cant get the hood to close until i get new front rad support bushings. tried to order them through local parts stores and they said they ddnt have a listing, so to the dealership i went, got shafted b/c they apparently thought i said sway bar bushings, so i've been waiting for 7 days for parts that my truck never came with from the factory 
after that tid bit of info was brought to the surface, i then find out like everything else body related on the truck the factory doesnt make jack for the truck anymore, so... i'm high and dry and walking a little funny. currious to see if anyone has any leads for JUST the rad support bushings. i can get a kit from summit for the full bushing set but i dont feel like shelling out 75 bucks when it's said and done. and, if i didnt want to replace the radiator bi-monthly i'd just stack washers...

washers and thick rubber matting is what we had to do to mine when we fixed the front crossmember......
yeah, we have some mining belt, but i went to advance and got some upper shock mounts. they just had them laying around so freebie!!!
i trimmed them slightly last night, haven't put them in yet, but they should do the trick. thanks logan.
