Re: Cab mounts

instead of the polyurerhane mounts why not use a stock insulator from a more modern truck. they last forever and seem to work well, how many times do you hear guys saying they have to change the body mounts on their 2000+ vehicle? just remember the whole thing needs to have the same kinda mounts so it all flexes, or doesn't flex, the same. cab and rad support mounts should be the same material no matter what type you use as that ensures the body parts that are bolted together will all flex at the same rate and less stress is put on the sheet metal fastener points, so less apt to start stress cracking etc and less chance fenders and door gaps get close enough to rub paint off. the speed bumps installed at a slight angle (man, I would like to find that engineer) are a good example od something that will cause body gaps to open or close as the frame and body flex.
