1989 one ton 4x4 dual wheels Square body - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ImLewie · 04-04-2009, 01:02 PM

I picked up a 1989 Gmc V-3500 4x4 with a 8 foot dump body Square body front end. I am replacing the front inner and outside fenders, Radiator core and cab mount bushings. I realize I need to order fenders for a 81 -87, but need help on what I should order for the radiator and cab bushings. I am assuming I can use the bushings for the 81-87 full size truck. I called the people at LMC truck to ask them this question but the girl on the phone didn't have a clue to what I was talking about. I just need someones input to what I think I already know.

As long as its a regular cab the body bushings from a 81-7 will work.I f your replacing them go with a set from energy suspenison.

It's a common error that the square body 2 door, regular cabs stopped in 1987. They made 2 door regular cab V30 series pickups in 1988 and some square body chassis cabs beyond that.

Really? I didn't know that. How come you don't see many 1 tons on the road? Every where I look, it's always a 10 or a 20...
