71 k 20 body mounts issues
Can anyone measure there 71 or 72 k20 body mounts for me? I bought new mounts and now the front is too low and the master cly. is hitting my upper alt. braket. Just need to see if i have the right ones (suppose to be 71-72 4x4) before i start shimming the cab. thanks

Re: 71 k 20 body mounts issues
Are you sure you don't have a half ton frame? Half ton had shorter rear cab bushings.

Can you post pictures of what you’ve got right now? I can measure my mounts in the morning.

Re: 71 k 20 body mounts issues
The busing kit is different on half ton 4x4 and 3/4 ton 4x4. I have seen this mistake more than once.

That is your problem right there. Look at my truck in my build thread. Pics before I tore it down. Cab is low in back, was that way when I installed the LMC mounts. The new ones I put in are from Classic Heartbeat. Actually ended up a little high in the back. Did not have rear cab bushings seated in frame mount. Should be right on when I re-assemble.

Re: 71 k 20 body mounts issues
I’m certain longbed K10 and K20 use the Same identical frame model year for model year. With that said bushings shouldn’t make a difference on a long bed 4x4, whether It’s a K10 or a K20. I’ll know know more about the short K10 bushings tomorrow. I’d bet your issue is LMC as well.

Re: 71 k 20 body mounts issues
after adding 2 more shims to the front and 3 to the rear , the mounts are the same height as what i took out,so lesson learned,don`t buy mounts from lmc..

Re: 71 k 20 body mounts issues
The easy way to remember how cab mounts work between the two sizes is C/10s have unique rear cab mounts. They are shorter which means the mount sits higher on the frame. All 20 & 30 series trucks and all k-models take the other mounts. So it can be kept simple with just remembering C/10 is unique, everything else the same
I can't believe they can't even have simple pieces of rubber made to the right measurement. It's not a 1/16" either. Not even close. Are they even trying to get it right?
