I'm sure that the new bushings in them will be an improvement by themselves, compared to the 53 year old originals. I'm looking forward to warmer weather and switching it all out.
Make sure your car is on the ground with weight on it when you tighten up the bushings. If not, and the rear end is hanging - it can preload the bushings/suspension when you tighten and affect ride quality.
