Body mounts

Put the cab on my truck and it seems like its either leaned forward about and inch or its up in the back about an inch. The cab is a 1976 2wd and the frame is a 1980 4x4 so maybe I used the wrong bushings any help would be appreciated.

Re: Body mounts

Yes I think there is. I'm pretty sure I got the ones for the 1980 4x4 not sure if the 1976 2wd are different other than part number?

Re: Body mounts

Ya thats the issue I dont know weather to cut the rear or add to the front. I think I might just mount the bed to the frame and match the cab to it the best I can.

Re: Body mounts

On K10's one of the mounts is WAY thicker (I think the rear, but not sure). I believe the frame mounts are slightly lower, than on the C10s. Been a while since I looked at them together, but I do remember one of the mounts was way thicker.

Re: Body mounts

Rear mounts are much taller than the front
