Fits 60-66 , so I think HMMM well I would think they found a way to make them work or include parts for both.. The issue with the cab mounts was over two years ago so I do not recall 100% what or why they did not work..

Asfor mounts here is a tip that I found out the hard way.. Understand that with cab mounts and rad support mounts along with keep the lines of the cab & box.. All of this needs to be done way before paint etc. As the new mounts raise the cab well re use the old rad mount and you have a dip in the mid section due to the parts being bolted together, ( cab to inner fender, inner fender to rad support, outer fender to inner fender.. you get the idea) then you have issue with the box lines meeting the cab lines..
that is pretty basic to understand. that they all deteriorate and collapse over time. it dose have an affect on the body line. also why lots change over that rear cab mount on a 20 series trucks as those sag quite a bit.
most panels and suburbans have a different rad support bracket than pickups do. they have a rubber suspension between the bracket and the frame. This is due to the longer body of the panel and suburban. In the p/u you have that split between the cab and the box which allows more for flex
