Cab mount/ body mount restore info - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

swyfor5 · 06-13-2007, 02:33 AM

Just got a poly cab kit from Jim Carter, nice bushings. Of course, it comes with no bolts. Any one do this recently and document what grade 8 bolts we might need? Would be nice to know, how many, what length, etc. Would save a lot of guess work and trips back to the store. My 1970 chevy truck/blazer factory shop manual on cd shows pic's, but no bolt sizes.

Search Back threads its all there in one of them. I bought one set from LMC and went to home depot and got all the bolts to make another set except for the front floorpan bolt.

DURRTY · 07-08-2007, 02:09 AM

did you get some body mount bolts?

were did they come from finally if you did??

just wondering?

swyfor5 · 07-10-2007, 12:08 AM

No, nothing yet. Looking at lmc, but don't know if the bolts they list will work with poly bushings? Added up all the bolts, washers, spacers, etc, about $80-$90. I only want to do it once. My first intinct is they will work, but I'm not sure.

swyfor5 · 08-03-2007, 02:06 AM

Wow, still in limbo guy's, need help here!

DURRTY · 08-03-2007, 03:04 AM

I called totally stainless a couple weeks ago and they were very help full. I havent put the bolts in yet, they do look like they are correct.

Or buy a few cheap bolts of different lengths
and size em up then buy the correct amount. Its not really a tough deal.

Hope it's right cause these are the ones I bought to go with my new body bushings. Going to try & get it all installed this weekend. Like you I did't want to pay $90 extra for a few bolts that only cost $15 for them all. Got most of mine from Lowe's & the 9/16 & 7/16 from a local ag&auto parts store.

drunkbus · 08-03-2007, 01:08 PM

Look through the vendors for Early Classics they have a complete kit.

meathead95 · 08-03-2007, 04:41 PM

www.christiansclassics.com sells the bolt kit and tim is great to deal with

1tonblaze · 08-03-2007, 08:33 PM

if you are going to get your own bolts cheeper go to t.s.c (tractor , supply, center ) depending if they have one in your area . they sell all grade bolts by the pound not by the bolt like home depo or lowes .
