C20 Energy Suspension Body Mounts - reuse parts??
I have the Energy Suspension 3-4107 Urethane Body Mount kit for my '67 C20.
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...sion/17015.pdf The instructions say to cut-down and re-use the rear two "cab sleeves" (the bushings with the flange on top). Really? I have to use my rusty, cruddy, old bushings with all the other nice new hardware? Anybody find a good replacement for those?

The prothane kit also doesn't provide those. Must be expensive to provide the heat treated sleeves?

Re: C20 Energy Suspension Body Mounts - reuse parts??
I guess. Or maybe it's an odd-ball size. I'll have to measure them up and then poke around on the McMaster-Carr site...

Re: C20 Energy Suspension Body Mounts - reuse parts??
Thread revival.
I am still in the process of replacing all of my cab bushings. I have the Energy Suspension Urethane Body Mount kit for my '70 C20 Longhorn. I have to replace the middle bolts and spacers. I measured what was left of the center spacers and came up with 2.25 x 7/8". Does that sound correct? Also the instructions say to reuse the 9/16"x6" bolts that were in the center position. I have to replace them but 6" looks too long from the measurements I took. I came up with 5". Does that sound correct? Also what is the correct front bolt size and type for the bushings? Thanks in advance for the help. ![]()

Re: C20 Energy Suspension Body Mounts - reuse parts??
I was able to find 2 9'16"x5" UNC Grade 5 bolts at a nearby fastener store. Is grade 5 strong enough? I didn't want to get the wrong strength. The guy jokingly told me the minimum was 1000 pieces. Then when he looked, he had only 2 left.

I dunno about the bushing sizes. Too busy battling winter to work on the truck. You're out ahead of me at this point.
