Which body mount is which?
I have a 68 cab with a 67 1/2 ton SWB frame. The body mount kit I got has one mount that is thicker than the other. Which one goes in the front and which one in the back?

I just bought 1/2 ton mounts and the ones for the cab are all the same. I do believe that the 3/4 ton mounts have thicker ones for the back of the cab, though. Maybe you have the 3/4 ton kit?

Luckily I still had the original cab mounts in a box. When I compared the originals to the aftermarket ones I found out that the original sleeves in the front mounts were actually shorter than the rear. Once I made that change my alignment problems went away,

1/2 ton uses a taller mount in the back. Not sure about 3/4 ton, never had one.
