Andy, You could shelve your bushes and have a machinist turn up some up. I would go with bronze. Maybe you can buy some off the shelf with the right O.D. and I.D. If not the correct I.D. you could put a drill through in a lathe and then ream. Steel to steel probably requires more diligence with your greasing.
Have you dropped the tie rod off (with the front jacked up) and checked the pre-load at the knuckles? Is there any resistance to them moving?
To minimise the risk of shimmy, everything has to be in spec.
Good luck as you move forward with this. (As it's a Chev, I suppose I should have said "ahead")
