Default Rear Spring Mount Kit

Does anyone in the STL area have a set of rear spring mount kit they don't need? I was wanting to replace the rear spring this weekend but Mid-America is out of the kits and the Chevy dealer show them in their books piece by piece and not in stock. I would be more than happy to pay for them.

My bolts were rusted solid. Sawzall'ed 'em out.

Gruhala Enterprises in DeSoto might have a kit around, if you can catch him in his shop.

I have no problem getting them out, I just need a replacement set to put back in. I wonder if Just Corvettes in St. Charles has them.

I found a set at Just Corvettes in St. Charles for $40. I know a little on the high side but at least they have them.

If you haven't got the set from JC send me a PM with phone number. My company network won't allow me to send a pm out. Keep getting run time errors
