I'm swapping an 8.8 into a 79. Since I have everything out, I figured I would clean, paint, and box-in the stock control arms. Bushings are in pretty rough shape, so I'd like to replace those too. I'm having problems finding them in-stock.

Have any of you recently replaced your stock bushings? Or should I just go ahead and upgrade to urethane? Aftermarket control arms? This is just going to be a basic going-to-town rig, so I don't particularly need a performance upgrade.

I do already have a new set of stock bushings that go in the diff housing.
