Re: bed mount question - bent frame from towing?
Today I got my "67-72" Suburban body mount bushing set from Bob's Chevy Truck Parts. Not sure that I can use the cab mounts, but the bed mounts are what I was after, and $200 for something that is almost the same was my only option!
Got the calipers on them, and they measure about .745" to .760" thickness (some variance). Outside dimensions are identical. My old ones were so rotted that they were squashed down to about .520". It was stated earlier on here that the originals were .720" thickness.
The big difference is that the hole in the center is MUCH larger. The old ones were about .437" in the steel plate and about .750" in the rubber. The 67-72 style are .770" in the steel plate, and 1.028" in the rubber.
It's pouring down rain right now, but I'll take a look later on and see what it looks like this will mean for mounting them up.
