Body to Frame Spacers

When I removed the Panel body from the frame I had six (3 on each side) of these spacers on the rear 3 mount positions. The front 2 positions did not have any. I'm wondering if there should be spacers in all 10 positions normally. I have a TF truck but its buried and I can't get under it to see where all of its spacers are. -Bob

Re: Body to Frame Spacers

I don’t know if looking at a truck will help. It only has 4 mounts and the back two are rubber. I had 3 spacers on each of the front 2 mounts tho. The first pic shows the front spacers and the second pic shows the rear rubber spacers. I took these during disassembly. Not sure it will help you tho since it’s a truck

Re: Body to Frame Spacers

I'd think the way it was when you took it apart was the way it should go back.
Somewhere there should be specs to show how far off the frame certain points of the bottom of the floor (or supports ) should be off the frame but finding them for a burb might be the challenge of the year. It's in the assembly manual for trucks but I don't think there is a thing for burbs in it.

Yeah, but I'd think from the factory all 10 mounts would have the spacers - but this frame has been changed out before I got it. Going to be difficult to determine if it needs the front 4 spacers because the Panel body is so long a 1/4" spacer missing is going to be hard to measure or visualize whether the body is not level.
