Love When Parts Fall Off - Rubber Mounting/Body Supports - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The other day I found this rubber bit on the floor of my garage (photo 1). I am pretty sure this is the passenger side lower radiator rubber mounting cushion. Photo 2 is the cab's driver side forward lower rubber mounting cushion and then Photo 3 is the cab's backside lower rubber mounting cushion.

My brain says if you need to replace one, replace them all. Yes?

I'll go with rubber, not polyurethane and I think I'll source the parts from GMC Pauls. I viewed a YouTube from LMC Tucks and seems straight forward for the cab with a helper.

Question:
But when you do one side and jack up the cab - that won't put stress / bend anything on the other side if it isn't loosened?

For the lower radiator, LMC Truck's YouTube isn't for a 72, seems there was a change - the LMC Truck's video is for 60~68.

Question:
Anyone have a steps/tips - how much disassembly is needed to get the old ones off and the new ones in?

Overall it seems the hardware is in pretty good shape all around, though I think I'll get the full kit from GMC Pauls. Which you can get the bed bits too. They sell "Bed Mounting Pads", is this a upgrade? Suggestions on this item?
