Rear support for body mount

[stangtjk]

Are these reproduced? I made one but I don't have a brake so it took forever and came out passable but not as nice as I'd like. Would rather just buy it than make another one but not sure what it would be called and haven't seen it in the catalogs.

I might have a decent one probably can't check until this weekend.

Mine isn't much better than yours Sorry.

I'm no sheet metal guru like so many others are on this site, but, I've bent steel on my work bench using strong clamps, steel plate over the edge I'm bending and start bending. A good strong hammer helps to. good luck.

That's pretty much how I made the one in the last picture.... After doing the one I didn't​ want to do another guess I'll just suck it up and start hammering.

Second one came out better and didn't take near as long to make. Guess I was dreading doing it for no reason...

that's some good sheet metal work. good job.

I think there is a bushing in there also.

[stangtjk]

Bushing in where? These were practically falling off my tub after I took it off the frame so I could have lost something. It looked to me like they were just welded over the support for the rear body mount and the body mount goes between this and the frame.

It goes into the box you just built I'm guessing it keeps the box from crushing when you tighten it down. I will try and get a picture of the bushing on the one I have.

[stangtjk]

Oh, yeah there is some metal support structure that the box sets on but it's not a bushing. That piece is still on the truck and was in decent shape. I don't have a close up but in this picture I've got one box installed and the other off. I think that lower piece is what you're referring to.

yea might be I really can't tell from the picture just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed before painting.
