Great thanks a lot HotRodPC! I'll get these ordered tonight after I measure things.
I just have to add, the prices on RockAuto are great! they beat out all of my local part stores and that's even before the extra discount.

Hopefully all the parts will be shipped out of the same warehouse. Otherwise, the shipping can hurt those good deals.

I ordered the bushing for the front and rear leaf springs last night.
And while I was ordering those. I stumbled across a thread, I want to say on 73-87 chevy trucks, the thread was talking about how to diagnose warped rear brake drums. The simple process is to use the e-brake slowly to slow down and see if you can feel the shake/hop/whatever.
So this morning on the way to work I tried it. and sure enough I get the exact same shake. Looks like I'll be getting the rear brakes worked over as well. I'm sure the spring bushings also are contributing to the shake as they look pretty torn up on the back end.
I'll be sure to post up my findings after this weekend. Hopefully I'll have time to get it sorted out.
