C8 suspension link rod

Richard,

Like Phil, I improvised, as I was unable to find direct replacements. I had new rods made up that I welded to the C-Shaped end.

The washers/retainers and Rubbers are available NOS at LWD parts.

Jeep-Dodge-GMC in France offer something similar for the US Chev 1,5Ton.....but I am not sure if this is the same as C8 or if it can be modified to work.

Here is a photo of mine after I restored them. They are off a standard civilian 1945 Chev truck (not CMP) and look the same, so they should be quite easy to obtain.
