-> I want to keep this car on the road...
-> Right now I've got a brake hose that I need to put in,  but the major
-> I'm looking at is some bushings,  that apparently are part of what
-> holds a sub-frame to the body -- it's a Dodge Monaco.
-> Auto parts stores have all sorts of other bushings,  but not these.

What do the bushings look like?  Just rubber doughnuts?  If so, then
a trip to a machinery supply house may be fruitful.  There are quite
a few varieties of machine vibration damping mounts that might have
a similar durometer (hardness) to work for you.  Could they be made
up from pieces of tire sidewall cut and laminated together?  How about
truck cab mounts?  Maybe a truck parts place has some "universal"
biscuit-type mounts you could use...
