There is a big bushing w/bolt going through it, connecting the main frame rails with the forward frame rails, both are falling apart.
Can anybody tell me the name of the bushings?

Anybody sell a complete on near complete bushing kit?

Do you mean the K frame isolation bushings ?

No rubber replacements ( althogh quite often can be found NOS )

but there are Polyurethane replacements ( Energy suspension, Prothane suspension ) and some others making aluminium blocks to fit in there in rubber replacements

K frame is not attached, looks like there is a front section tied to the main fram rails by a 5/8" dia. bolt about 5-6" long and there is a rubber bushing inbetween.  The main rail is underneath the other rail, that is about as good as I can descibe them.

Energy Suspension and the other, are they kits or individual bushings?

I got mine from these guys. IT seems they are changing over to aluminum. In Fact the BODY TO K FRAME MOUNTS they sent me were poly but the Steel Crossmember Mounts were aluminum. Great customer service too, the cross member mounts had the wrong size mounting bolts. Thought I was screwed but they just machined up a new set and sent them free.
