Re: bed mount question - bent frame from towing?

much to my surprise, I went out in the rain and looked, and the two sets of bushings to the front actually share the same large frame hole as the new ones I just got. The one I was measuring from was one of the two sets that sits over the frame mounted gas tank, and this one is the smaller dimension hole that I gave. My truck is a 62. Maybe they were different for 60-62 panels as well? Lewis stated to Ron that he gave dimensions for the 64-66. Sorry for so many posts. When I get this all figured out, I'll post back with results or more info.

Also, picked up my rear engine mounts (under bellhousing to xmember) for my 62 manual trans truck, and noticed in the NAPA catalog part # 602-1041 in the engine, trans, etc mounting bushing section. This part # looks very similar to a suburban/panel bed mount, but none in stock to check dimensions. Used as upper motor mounts on ford trucks and transmission mounts in Cosworth Vegas, among other possible applications.
