Cab Mounts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Baby John · 04-01-2010, 10:07 AM

I'm about to buy some rubber cab mounts from Brothers, and I was noticing that their add says that the kit does not come with spacers.

I'm not really sure what that means. Can someone help me with that? Do I need spacers?

Here's the kit I'm looking at.

They are referring to the crush sleeves, if yours are good i would clean them up and reuse them. you can see the sleeves in the picture at the link below.

I think I may need to buy those sleeves too. I am pretty sure when I removed the cab I lost those. Seems like the rubber mounts on the rear of the cab stayed attached to the frame but the ones on the front stayed attached to the cab. Possibly just seized to them or something. I recall my paint guy telling me he had to drive those sleeves out for some reason.

usually they rust up pretty good, stick to the mounts etc after being attached all those years. you can see if brothers sells those sleeves seperate, or check with a board vendor for those or the complete kit.

Mine was rusted pretty bad.

I would recommend a kit with the spacers.

Save the originals though to compare the height to the new ones.

The kit I got from CPP (I think, it's been a while) came with four spacers the same length (the fronts om my '67 were shorter than the rear). I didn't catch it until I was having problems lining up the front clip. Luckily I still had the originals in a box so I cut down the new ones to match the originals and everything lined up fine.

OK, so I just need to buy this kit at GMC Pauls then, that includes the sleeves. Thanks. That helps alot.

I bought the spacers from Brothers without reading that they didn't come with sleeves. Had to buy the sleeves from LMC and ended up paying premium for the whole set. Could have got them at GMC Paul's for less. You will definitely need them.

GMCPaul's is a much better option than Brothers. just my $.02 worth

I always just cut new ones from a piece of round tubing. You can usually get a "drop" of tubing a few feet long for a buck or so at any steel yard.

Brother's also doesn't tell you that the kit is not complete. Try ECE - complete kit and nice guys.

Don't buy them from Brothers. Their kits are NOT complete right now. The counter guy there told me they are waiting on washers to complete it

He told me I could buy their kit and go to Home Depot and buy the washers

I went down the freeway to the Truck Shop and bought a complete body mount and core support kit (oem rubber) for $60 and am very happy with it.
