Cheap Body {69 cab) Mounts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

threeonthetree · 03-12-2010, 10:33 AM

I’m wondering if anyone has made a pair of body mounts.. The bushing part.
Also what is the dimension on a correct ½ C10, with urethane mounts.
What’s the dimension from cab support to frame mount?

My cab is sitting wrong on the frame and isn’t lining up with my bed. And the bed is level so I know it is the body mounts.. Just looking for a cheap alternative… hockey pucks or something like that…

Tried using the search function couldn't find much.

Thanks

I just bought some from Brother's Trucks for my 67 2wd 1/2 ton. $48 for the entire set of 4, with nuts, bolts, and washers, about 1/2 the price of LMC, for only the rubber. I don't have the dimensions, but since it has been asked a few times, I will get them in the next few days. They will be significantly taller than the old ones since the old ones are super old, like me. My old ones were about 2/3s the thickness of the new ones, and they were completely distorted. You also could hear the cab pounding against the frame when you rev'd the engine. Just be prepared to use the biggest breaker bar you have, and if you are working alone, you can wedge a wrench against the frame cross member and use the breaker bar from the cab side. I had to put wd-40 on the bolts and let it soak for 2 days.

When I did the quick 69 body swap on to my 62 I just went down to the local hardware store and asked if they had any rubber things about 1 1/2 inch thick and found some that worked for a fiew bucks. they work nice. I wouldnt reccomend things like that for a permanent fix but for a temp ya cant beat it. So if ya on a small budget go to ACE and ask.
