Those are the tough ones to find. The splits are different and the M35 are too long.

Seems to me that there was an article in Army Motors a while back about shortening M35 torque rods to make them the right length.

The 41 352 that I'm fixing up as my yard truck was used by ranchers to feed cattle in the winter, I'm finding a lot of bubba stuff as I get it going, I guess the bushings gave up on a couple of the torque rods because they have pieces of chain welded to the two halves to hold the together!, it's not like I don't have a couple extras laying around but they look like a pain to change!
