I got a set from Dennis Carpenter.They seem like good quality .What year is your truck?I noticed a difference in the size and shape of the hole in the brackets on the frame that the mounts sit on.I used(I think its been a while)the '62 mount on my '61 frame and the cab bushings fit good.Also the bushing set is for a regular cab truck so if you want to add another mounting point like some have done here you will already have the extra parts to do it.

Good point.I forgot to mention that I bought a couple packs of thin rubber(about 1/8" each) from Sacramento Ford to use for the bed.They also have the wood blocks that go in the rear bed cross members or you could make your own from hard maple or oak.

I have never seen a post that has all the measurements for the uni... from cross member to the last bed mounts.
Anybody out there have them all?

Do you want the size of the spacer blocks or the rubber pads that go between frame and mounting points?

I was just thinking it would be nice to have it all in one place, maybe in the tips section.
I bought a flairside set of body mounts since I added the rear cab mounts, and built new bed blocks for the uni. I also rebuilt my blocks out of Brazilian cherry but I do not know if it is all at the right height, core support to bed cross members.
