Body mounting hardware

[biketopia]

So I'm hoping to get around to mounting my cab and core support to my chassis in the coming weeks. I'm digging through my parts stash of new and used stuff. I'm planning to install these bushings, https://static.atechmotorsports.com/.../ens-17016.pdf I can source new bolts locally and have the specs on them, but I can't seem to locate the factory washers it speaks of in the directions. Are they just a thick washer or do I need the specific factory style ones and are they available anywhere?

The body mount washers are close to the same diameter as the bushings they fit against and are approx. 1/8" thick. The core support washers are thinner but still thicker than most hardware store washers. Try ACE Hardware, Fastenall, (if you have one in your area), or as last resort a farm store. (check in the farm equipment area of the store for the bigger washers)

Are you sure you want urethane bushings?
Different is not always better.

95% sure. This will be lowered on coil-overs, big engine, corner carving type truck, even though it is a long bed.

Thanks, that's what I thought they were. I have a vendor I can work with on that type of hardware if I can get it at my local nut & bolt place. Specifically it calls out a washer with a square hole in the front cab location, is there an actual requirement for that?

[Dashman]

Front cab or radiator support location? It's a square washer with a square hole because the radiator support body mount uses a carriage bolt. It restrains it from turning while the nut is tightened. You could access a hex head bolt with some long extensions, then you wouldn't need a square washer with a square hole. I don't recall there being a square hole washer at either cab mount location.

The instructions indicate front cab, but makes a lot of sense for the radiator support though.
