Please confirm this for me - Body Mounts

Working on swapping a 1987 body onto a 1983 frame I have. I am ordering new body mounts (rubber) to install when i do the swap. I believe I read before that I should use mounts for the frame year, not the body year - so in my case I would need to order the 81-83 style mounts?

Do i have it right? Anyone know the difference or if the 84-87 is a superior design which would still fit the 83' frame?

I thought 81up was all the same.

I'm actually in the process of swapping my cab right now. I got on here to look up what bushings people were using. From what I've seen the 81-87 stuff should all be the same

LMC shows bushings for the 81-83 models, then 84-87 models. This is for a 4x4, although I think that doesn't matter.

Ive used the mounts from ebay and the only difference between the ones on LMC and ebay is the price...

I looked on ebay, all the ones I found are poly material. Brothers also sells rubber ones, I assume they are just the same ones LMC has.
