Not that this will help anyone make loose bushing fit, but as a point of
reference, I replaced my front sway bushings last winter.  The new ones are
from IAP (their P/N 91020, for the 1750 and 2000 through '74).  They had to
be pressed on, they fit just like the nasty old ones I took off.  Front bar
is definitely stock dimension, can't swear to its originality.
