Hi, Chuck
The 1960-72 Suburban / Panel truck body mounts were last available through GM up until about a year ago when the last available were finally sold. These are the mounts you need, and when new they are actually more like 3/4"-1" in thickness not a 1/2" and have a steel sleeve molded into the bottom cushion that is slightly taller than the cushion and the top cushion has a small depresion in it that the round steel sleeve fills when they are mounted and tightened. We have heard that there is a company having a manufacturer reproduce these and we expect them out sometime this year but it looks as though it will probably be late summer or sometime in fall at earliest before they become available.
Have a nice weekend!!!

Hi, Roy
To date only the 1967-72 Suburban / Panel body mounts have been made. The manufacturer has been satisfied with the demand but they still have not begun tooling up to make the 60-66 versions which are smaller in size as you are aware.
Sorry we couldn't help with this!!
