Core support bushing washer rusted away. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

While under my 86 C20 yesterday I noticed the right front core support bushing and washer rusted away. I had replaced a rusted out battery tray assembly last summer, while the engine was out. The inner fender wasn't rusted through. It did have surface rust. I treated it and repainted.
Now can I get away with just replacing just the one bushing and bolt & nut plus washers ? The other cab mounts and bed mounts have no rust at all. The rubber shows some dry rot cracks. Which I would say is normal for the year of the truck. The truck has lived in the south all its years, still has its paint underneath. Or use the old bushing with new hardware ?

Thanks Ken

I would replace them in pairs. Just so you would see the difference (slant)from the front

The more I think about it, replacing them all seams right.
