Where can I get the two white plastic bushings that are behind each door panel used to guide the vertical door lock rod on a '70? Looks like a simple R&R. I have both the keyed lock and plunger binding from time-to-time on the driver's door and thought fixing this might help. Also, what's a good spray lube to use and what latch locations need it most? Is there a way to test the latch to see if it is shot internally?

Howdy Steve.
I got my clips at The Paddock earlier this year. Their p/n is ZDLC6881 and $4.95 each.
I think I have seen them elsewhere since, but don't remember where offhand.
Good luck.

Mine are turning to dust and are really worn. Nice detail item. A.K.A. bellcrank bushings. BTW: If anybody cares, here's what they look like (pic from The PADDOCK):
