Re: GMC 3/4 cab mounts the same as 1/2 Chevy?

PS, I want to warn you about that fuel line you are running. I ran Russell steel braided fuel line for my LT1 and I had to take it all off after 3-4 years and throw it away. The fuel actually weeped through the lines over time and soaked the frame the whole length. I had to move the truck outside because the garage and house stunk of gas. I redid it in aluminum and had no more problem. I don't know if it was a bad run of line or if the fuel nowadays eats the rubber.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely keep an eye on it. They should be ethanol safe by now but I'll send a note to summit and see.

So it sounds like I should be good with 1/2 ton mounts. Thanks all!
