What brand bushings for 68 C10 Short/Fleet that will not mess up cab & bed alignment?

[HeavyHauler]

I need to purchase some rubber cab mount bushings that will not mess up the alignment of body lines between the cab & bed. This is on a 1968 Chevy C10 short bed fleetside. It has a metal bed floor if that makes any difference.

OR do you always have to use some sort of spacers in order to get the alignment correct after taking out the factory cab bushings?

Can somebody recommend a good brand or place to get them from?

The old bushings will be all squished out and flattened so new ones will always change the position of the cab. If you buy the complete set they should basically be matched front and rear. The kit should come with some large square spacers in case you have to adjust the height of the front or rear of the cab. I would buy the radiator support kit at the same time if it doesn't come with the cab kit. Just make sure you get the correct kit for your truck.... C10 and C20 are different, and '67 - '68 or '69 - '72 they are different.

When I installed my new cab mounts I also installed 1/4” rubber pads under the bed. The mis-alignment was obvious. Removed the bed pads and it lined up nicely. The bed (wood or steel floor) should go right on the frame mounts.
