DC body mount bushings kit frustration

Post by 64zbird »

help.. I must be confused on how the body mount bushings work on my 68. I bought the DC versions for $100 bucks but using the mounts as they have them illustrated in thier "instructions" they front bolt is too long and if your still mounting your gas tank in cab the rear bolts are way short. My original rear cab mounts have the bolt, washer tank mount, then a tapered sleeve that goes through the steel washer , rubber, frame. sleeve, rubber and the bottom is a washer with an in set nut built in. This kit is nothing but bolts and washers and nuts. Has any body else run into this? I had a set from LMC that were about the same story. Do they expect you to buy all the correct bolts when thier charging a hundred bucks. Any input will be helpfull I'm stumped.

It seems that the best solution is to use the new rubber, but use the old hardware if possible. That is what I had to do... I had the exact same problem.
