What are the correct part number #'s for bushings for a 70 Duster with #34900072 leaf springs?
I'll take them for
rubber or poly...

OE "Correct" is always rubber, now if you want to put Poly in that's your choice.
 
Thanks, I'm aware OE is rubber. I was looking for part #'s and others personal preferences.
 
Poly vs rubber vs graphite vs aluminum vs rod ends all depends on what you use the car for and what your goals are.
Suggestions would vary if it's a cruiser vs a concours restoration vs an auto-X car.
You'll likely get more information if you give a good idea of what you're after.

Okay and I see you edited your post to state that now.

As for which..

Front, rear, both?
O'Reilly, NAPA, RockAuto, and all the other usual suspects have them listed in rubber and poly. Too many numbers to list here.
As said, decision is yours based on what you want to do with it.
 
I don't care what I use I just don't want to hear that loud clunk in the back every time I hit a bump.
I've been researching it for a couple days with much conflicting information and it seems to boil down to is it a 2 inch eye with a 5/8 bolt or an 1.5 inch eye with a 1/2 bolt...I don't know.
I'm just looking for someone who knows the part number for the front and rear bushings for a #3400072 leaf spring.

The only way to know for sure is to measure. Pull a bolt from one side and you'll know for sure. Be sure to check the rears also.
Years back I bought replacement springs and had to peice together bushings and bolts. I even went by what other's had used for the same part numbers and mine were somehow different.
 
After looking and reading about 15 pages of posts here. I found something from 2013 that had what may be the correct part OE part # for the front bushing I'm looking for...2539127 now know as RB109. These are rubber which will probably be alright as I'll never drive this car enough to wear them out.
