    Great score! That bushing looks like the idler arm bushing that presses into the center link.

    I think the bushing looks like it goes in the front of the shackles. Nice score.

    The idler is laying next to it, with the bushing in it.

    I believe it is an idler arm bushing for the early style idler arm. A little hard to remember the size but it looks like the one I pressed into my center link (71). Maybe it is a spare. :)

    I looked the # up and it is an upper control arm bushing, but did not say what for.

    I know where a grabber hood is 200 miles out in the middle of no where went out there and asked the guy if he would sell the hood he said no that once he restored his car he would make $74,000 off of it.. He lived in a trailer and was 95 years old and couldn't breath that car will probably just get crushed..

    I know where there is a Grabber hood too.

    1) On Larry Winter's Maverick (and i know where he lives, hee, hee, hee) swap_6_hood_is_off_original.jpg

    2) In my garage (not as nice as Larry's)

    Just think there is some guy out there who is selling a Grabber hood at a swap meet who wants $50 for it or something like that, or someone has one stuffed in the top of garage that they could care less about...... all you need to do is get to those guys before anyone else.:rofl:
