70 Cuda 3/4 rear sway bar frame bushings

[0791ADUC 1970]

I’d like to replace the rear sway bar bushings in a 70 Cuda. It has a 3/4 inch sway bar any ideas on where I can find a set. I was able to purchase rear sway bar end links for the rear from Roseville but no luck on the frame bushings.
Thank you

I used these-

Energy Suspension 9.5106G 3/4in. SWAY BAR BUSHING SET – Energy Suspension

Discarded the brackets that came with them, drilled out the spot welds in the original brackets, put in the new bushings and then we clamped & re-welded them. You could also use bolts like on this yellow car.

I did as EV2RTSE did, back in the 1990s, I drilled out the welds holding the old bushing in place, replaced with new ones, and welded them back shut. It takes a long time for these to wear out, and frankly, the old ones were not that bad, they just.... looked dirty and old. The bushings themselves seem to be a common type. They were, of course, "no longer available" from the dealer, but I found a set at my local auto parts store chain on the first attempt, that's why I think they are of common type. If your set in doing this, take your brackets apart, and you can measure the old bushings (or bring them) to a performance suspension shop, and they should be able to order an exact replacement. A bigger shop in a densely-populated area may have them in stock.

Good info, does anyone know if a button head bolt could be used, and not interfere with frame rail, so the bracket still mounts flush?
