I want $25 with shipping. I found them tonight and sanded them as best I could, cleaned them, and painted them with some rustoleum primer. Here's a couple pics I took with my cell.

Your gonna need bolts and bushings. Good luck getting them out. Basically you need to destroy the bushing to get them out. The bolt rusts in the bushing and no way you will get it out. Twist it til U tear the rubber. I had an impact gun and half a can of PB Blaster and a torch. They dont come out. Dont waste your time trying. Assume you need new bushing and tear them up.
