how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

can anyone tell me how thick the 67-68 radiator core support bushing is (a new one)??

Re: how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

About 1/4". They are real thin.

they are just basically rubber washers, about 1/4" thick each. Here is a diagram.

thanks guys for all of the help , that diagram is awesome , thanks again

I disagree unless the 67-68 is thinner. Mine are about 3/4" thick. Am I missunderstanding something here?

Re: how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

Yes, I see now, MY BAD. The oler trucks are thinner than the 70-72's.
Hmmmm, I didn't know that.

If the only difference between the 67/68 and the 69-72 core support mount is the size of the hole, then why is the bushings thinner on the 67/68?

I bought a kit from gmc pauls, radiator support kit with bolts and washers $24.95

Not 100% sure but I think the mounting brackets on the 67-68 frames are mounted higher on the frame.

Re: how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

Correct. Mounting bracket on 67-68 frame is higher, which requires the use of the much thinner 60-68 mounts.

that answers some of my alignment problems because i have a 67 frame under my 71:metal:

i was having alignment issues also, that is how i discovered this

I have a 69 core support on a 67 frame and 68 front clip. What mounts do I use?

Re: how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

The rule is to use the mounts designed for the frame since the core supports are basically the same. As such, you must use the 60-68 thin mounts for your 67 frame.

hmmm....part of my issues with a '68 on a '72 chassis too I guess.

Re: how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

Can someone post a picture of what a 70-72 frame support looks like? This is my truck, 68 cab and front clip but I am not too sure of the frame.

Lokks like a 69-72 frame with the big holes. Wish my frame and suspension were that pretty.

Re: how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

You could just shim your 60-68 mounts with big thick washers until you get to the thickness of the 69-72 mounts. I believe that the 69-72 mounts are about 3/4 inch thick.

Re: how thick is a 67-68 radiator core support bushing supposed to be
 

I looked at the frame mounts on my true '67 and the top of the bracket is even with top of the frame,

I hope this helps,
