Body mount bushings
 
Ok, I need new bushings, is there a vendor on here with good quality, with a decent price? I need cab and radiator, bolts too if possible, thanks

I have bought body mount kits from them. Do yourself a favor, spend the extra bucks and get the rubber ones instead of the polys. Your teeth will thank you....

Here is a direct link to the cab mount kit. http://www.classicparts.com/Cab-Parts/products/315/2/0

Just my 2¢ worth....

I got the kit from Classic Heartbeat (.com). It's a great set but did include the parts for the bed, which I didn't need.

This has always been a tough topic, some swear by the Poly, some by the rubber, others say only get oem rubber.
Some also say the aftermarket rubber bushings fall apart within a couple years.

I don't usually buy at LMC, but that's where I found original rubber versions of the 3/4 to and 4X4 mounts. I was pleased with the quality. I also have a poly set I decided not to use based on comments here.

Sounds good, my Blazer only needs two,... But you know what that means. Still on the fence.

Thanks for all the info, mostly ii need the core support, but figured the rest could use a freshen up as well, plus the PO was going to make this truck a mud truck so I'm not sure what is there and I took the body lift out and there were 3/8" thick shims in there too and now my pass door doesn't line up?? So I thought starting from scratch would be best. Any thoughts on that?

stay away from those poly bushings, they are no where near the same height.
I had to make 1" spacers to keep everything level. I have a 71' short bed fleetside that I installed these on, my bed lines didn't even come close, the cab was way lower, so I had to make spacers. and the bushings squeak like crazy too.

I bought the cab rubber bushings for my C20 but the "kit" didn't include the radiator bushings. Classic parts said they didn't sell a rubber stock bushing for the c20. They have the c10 but its not the same size.
Where do I find a good rubber bushing for the radiator support?

Dang that sucks! I am a fan of the C20 and even C30.

I need to add that for me, one of the square washers for the core support carriage bolts is too small to bind up against the driver side wall of the core support. I am putting in regular bolts and extra round washers to correct that. I thought about having larger square washers made but if I need to fix it later I'll remove the radiator and get a helper with a long extension to his ratchet. This is the Classic Heartbeat kit.

I guess I didn't call the bushings by the correct name. Is it the core support bushings...not radiator support bushings..
