Dart,
I did pretty much the same thing when I rescued my black '62 Lebanon from a guys side yard in Redford. Turned out to have a special ordered yellow leather and cloth interior (trim code 999) so I've been slowly restoring it.
Good luck!
I had them do a '62 center bearing about 2 yrs ago. Talked to them on the phone and then shipped the assembly out to them. Turn around time was about 2 months but I was in no hurry. Bearing when in no problem and all is good.
Just a note when shipping parts out to be rebuilt......I put a tag...
Found the correct 1 1/2" dia Shackle bushings at Eaton Spring in Detroit.
Part Number HB830 5/8 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 Bushing $8.95 each
Also note that the Axle Isolator Pads they sell MUR1001 are shorter than the original Imperial pad.....They will fit the spring mounting hardware, but they...
Would you be willing to add '67 & '68 at some point? Pretty low production as well but I'm always surprised by how many you see out there.
Online Imperial Club registry has some information but I don't know how up to date it is.

These are the smaller 1" bushing in the pictures.....I just received them from National Moparts today. So far the AC Delco shackle kit from Rock Auto and the Rare Parts Shackle from NAPA all have the 1" bushing rather than the 1 1/2" that's on the car.
I'm on the hunt for NOS 2403145 bushings...
Any one have a source or work around for shackle bushings on a '67 Imperial? it uses #2403154 shackle bushings which are 1 1/2" dia x ~1 1/4" wide". So far all I can find are smaller diameter bushings. Searched the old threads but didn't see anyone asking this question......
on.
Let me know if you find something working, and what you want for it......I'd also take a look at your Green coupe if its still available lol......it would be a good reason to get rid of my '67 Lincoln Continental coupe
