Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

where did you find the mounts?
ron

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

i got the truck mounts for the main mounting (4 front) and the small square mounts(rear) were in decent shape so i am going to reuse them.

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

only the frt 2 cab mounts work. the ones at the "B" pillar take the small rectangular ones as like the rest of the rear ones
ron

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

here is the kit i hope to try to clear up weather i can use all 4 mounts the rear mounts seem smaller and are close to the right thickness here is a picture

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

that top insulator for that "b" pillar mount that you have there in the kit is .250" thicker + .125" for the big flat washer than the orig that goes in there inc the flat steel plate which is laminated to the orig. so in total there is .375" difference

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

is the rear of the frame bent, or is it just the way its sitting in that pic???

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

i am using a truck frame and that rear section is a suburban frame that has been cut off i will cut it to fit and weld it to the truck frame as the rear bumper bolts directly to it so it is just hanging there not attached good eye!!!
