Cab Bushing Differences 1/2 to 3/4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Deaol · 01-20-2011, 02:00 PM

Tried searching around and couldn't come up with a 100% positive answer..

Ordered a Cab Bushing kit.. got it.. but noticed that the kit states for a 67-72 3/4 or 1ton.. and I am replacing the bushings on 1/2 ton lwb (71)

Are there any differences? Everything appears to be correct.

Thanks in advance!

The rear cab mounts are different on a 3/4, one ton and 4x4. They are longer.

2 wheel drive 1/2 ton takes one style, everything else takes the other style

Another ?

Should I go poly or rubber. I went with poly trailing arm bushings and they squeked forever. Which rides better? Thanks

Rubber rides better of course and won't make the noise of urethane but some guys like the urethane for it's longer life.

I change the cab mounts on every truck I buy since it stops so many squeaks, rattles, and allows all of the body parts to align with each other like the factory intended.
