I am getting ready to put the cab and front clip back on the frame and would like to replace the mounts with polyurethane mounts. Ive been looking but cant seem to find any... Maybe I am not looking hard enough...

Where can I go to get a cab mounting kit and radiator core support mounting kit for an 86?

^^^i find that it feels like my truck is "screwed to the frame". as for handling, ...with 38.5 swamps, i'm not going corner carving anyway. i do notice a little more swamper slap with them though, just put the toyo radials on, have'nt driven it yet, but expect it to be better with them

Hmm wonder how I would translate that to a 2wd vehicle. Both are quite diff in deal and reaction

I just got some Prothane body bushings for my '84 from Summit for $58. Placed a big order Thursday after 5pm and it just showed up about an hour ago.

What bushing cups? Do they come with the new mounts?

I have poly bushings in my big block truck. The ones in the suspension are awesome. It also has poly motor and cab mounts. If you have a big cam coupled with poly motor mounts and cab mounts, you will feel it. Some people like it some don't. I prefer rubber cab mounts and poly suspension bushings. That is just my preference. The poly cab mounts will last a lot longer, and keep your body lines better than rubber ones.
