OK were these trucks made with body bushings? This probably sounds like a dumb question, but the truck I'll be buying soon doesn't have any. In fact the cab isn't bolted down, or at least not all the way. So I way going to get/order some poly ones to put under the cab. Will Jeep CJ type bushings be about right? Or does someone have a number handy for some that work?
Thanks
Brute, I thought those were just for the bed???
Ahh...Yeah I figured that they would work, or could be made to. I never really thought about the bed though. It's bolted down already, will it be worth the time to install bushings there as well?
Hmm....I thought they had the cab ones listed too...sorry....
Most people use body bushings throughout the truck. It's actually very cheap and easy to fab some using a boat roller and saw. For less than 25.00 I made about 18 of them at 3/4" each. They are pretty solid and give a really firm feel during cornering. No shifting or squeeking....and did I mention it was cheap??? I just marked the 3/4" inch measurement on the deck of my chop saw and started zipping them out, 20 minutes later, ta-da...body mounts.
I had completely forgotten about doing it that way. Boat rollers have worked out pretty well in the past. Thanks for the reminder.
Gotta love the fumes and smell in the shop too...........Last time I thought I made 20, but only made 10.....:)Quote:
