Re: cab mount bushings

What year GMC? If I remember right the taller bushings are for the rear of the cab.

The front clip bushing size depends on the year of your truck.

I don't have a picture of the instructions, sorry.

Re: cab mount bushings

Check out the pictures in Bruce88's build thread, and see if that helps you sort the parts out.

It’s Just A Pickup, Post #446

I recommend reading the entire build, it's amazing the amount of information provided. I use his thread for reference all the time.

Cab bushings are different from 1/2 T and 3/4 or 4wd. The rear cab mounts on a 3/4T and 4wd are lower on the frame than 1/2T 2wd to allow for a thicker rubber bushing to give a smoother cab ride.
