unibody rubber mounts
Alright guys, I need new square rubber body mounts for a certain truck. What can I use as a replacement and where can I get these! They look like a piece of old tire but really thick. The ones that go between the bed and frame!
Thanks
Thanks

I had this mysterious space come up, where my body lines on the box and cab did not line up anymore, on my '64 when I reinstalled the cab and box. WITH new cab rubbers, after it came back from the bodyshop.
I shimmed the (formerly unshimmed) box up at the front with hockey pucks. perfect thickness. Have not had the front fenders and doors on yet to see if the body lines will work,, still a mystery WHY I needed shims at all. But the pucks worked.
You could cut them square with a hacksaw and grind them down on the sidewalk if necessary for thickness, too, in the case of a uni.

It's a race.. Will hell freeze over or will JC finish his truck first. Stay tuned..

I'm curious, how do those Hockey pucks play when they're squared up and have a hole in them like that?
Ooh oh, wait a minute, after enough suds I guess it's not a matter afterall, huh?. . .

after enough suds, Pete any problem in the world can be solved.
(temporarily at least)

you should have a rubber/plastic supply place somewhere nearby where you can get a bar or hunk of something close to size and cut off the length you need and drill your holes .rubber is graded by a durometer, the higher the number the more dense and less squishy it is.
