New cab mount question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Blue'72 · 08-19-2008, 09:52 PM

I'm researching before I install the new mounts and I think I'm more confused now than I was before. With this kit (COUNTERPART 67-5001) the four cab mounts, or cushions, are different sizes in height. There are two that are thicker than the other two. From what I researched, this sounds like mounts for a 4wd. Also, the core support mounts have a much smaller diameter insert than the holes in the frame. I'm digging through the old stuff that I took out 6 months ago and I can't quite figure out if this is right or not. I've noticed that this kit is a more generic kit than what GMCPaul's carries on his website. I googled the part number and found a few others that carry this kit and claim it is for a 67-72 1/2 ton 2wd. I just can't make sense out of it...

ttt

The thread I linked below has me a little confused. The mounts I have are hard rubber They look like the ones in this thread, but I can't tell from the picture if they are all the same size or not. I have two that are thicker and need to know if this is OK and if the thicker ones are supposed to go in the rear..

Wow, I rarely see posts go unanswered.. Nobody knows enough about cab mounts to let me know if the rear mounts are supposed to be thicker than the front mounts on a 2wd half ton?

I'm not concerned about the core support anymore because I found what was left of the original mounts and they are the same. I'm questioning the cab mounts however because I have read conflicting information on this and I've already had to buy new hardware for the core support because what they sent in the kit was completely wrong. I don't want to try to line up the front end only to find at that point that I have the wrong mounts in the rear.....

Anybody?

Ya the 4wd mounts are different sizes. The 2wd are all the same. You can look at the picture in LMC's catalog here

Thanks Riveted1! The link to LMC is one that I had looked at, but cannot tell from that picture if two of the mounts are thicker by about a 1/4" like the ones I have.

Actually, I finally thought to call the supplier that I got the kit from just now and he confirmed that the two thicker mounts go in the rear of the cab.
