I need two nuts for the upright bushings on my 1955 Suburban. I would like to replace all four if I could. They are an odd size and thread.

Unless I am mistaken, you are looking for the Pins and Nuts listed in 2-08-4 and 2-10-4 in the diagram below and shown in Wizard's (Sven's) photo (below). The nuts are not available as a separate part





The 2-10-4 pin and nut are PN 1241500 (an old part that started used as early as 1941 and then improved in 1952 and used until 1956).

This one is available at Hiltop Mopar:

https://www.hiltopautoparts.com/product/nos-mopar-upper-control-arm-...



In checking 2-08-4, the PN for the Pin and Nut is the same 1241500 (???). Might be. The difference would be in the camber bushings (2-08-3) on the upper connection

That would be 1321 130, which I found on eBay:

56D500boy, thanks for the info. I am after the nuts only at this time. I already have everything else new. The new parts didn't come with the nuts.

Strange. Based on the 55-58 Parts Catalog and the photo of the NOS 1241 500 parts, they were only sold as a matching set, "pin" and nut.

I'm guessing that if anything wore, it was the "pin" and the nut would be fine to reuse (maybe with a few drops of LocTite)

56D500boy I bought a "complete" bushing kit online. Everything was there except the nuts. I have two of the original nuts that are usable, The other two are rusted beyond use.
