Body Bushings

I wasn't sure where to post this, but where can i find the torque specs for the body bushings on a SWB pickup? I'm replacing my old mounts with polyurethane ones. The body sits flat on the rear cab mounts and the front core support mounts, but there's a 1/4" gap between the body and the front cab mounts. So i have no idea what's going on with that. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Body Bushings

if the rear cab and the rad support are tight and the fenders are still lined up ya may have to shim the front cab mounts sum

Re: Body Bushings

yeah that's what i ended up doing. i took the front fenders completely off to see if that helped, and it did help the cab sit all the way down on the bushings, but then my door alignment was totally f@&%ed so i shimmed the drivers side one and now both doors open and close perfectly. now i just gotta figure out how to get even gaps when i put the fenders back on. thanks for the advice!
