My K5 has a 75 frame, and a 77 body
I could use a couple measurements:
The thickness of the bodymount at the firewall floorboard mount.
The distance between the rear body crossmember, and the frame mounting point for the rear most bodymount.
Is the floorboard body structure parallel with the frame, or is it angled toward the front or back?


The set of mounts that my truck had are aftermarket I believe, and I need some help with what goes where. Some were in a box, and some on the truck when I got the truck, so I don't know what goes where.

Here are some pics..they are in order by their stamped numbers:


Bottom row left to right I have the following:

2-4008
2-4009
4-4010
2-4011
Top row
2-4025
6-4037
2-4092

Some of these have different inside diameters, and all of the numbers have different overall height to them.

There are also different bushings and washer sizes:

2 Different bushings, both outside diameters the same, but the thickness of one is .0625, the other is .125
3 different sized washers/shims...2", 2.5", 3"

This is how they might go together, trying to look at the LMC book to see what was original stuff...these don't quite match up.
layed out Front to Back, with the left being the core support, and right being the rear.

You're missing some bushings.
It looks like you are missing a set that goes in the rear and the set for the core support.

I also need this info soon because I'm going to need to put the body back on the frame and I don't know what I did with the instructions.
 
I should have said that what is pictured is for one side, I do have double what is pictured.

I'm thinking this is aftermarket because of the numbers molded in, but not sure from who, and where to find instructions for the install.
 
I think they're all there, but looks like you have the 2 rear positions upside down. Bolt comes down from the top, larger bushing between frame and body, smaller "cup" bushing under the frame with little end down.

Edit. Also, think you might have #2 and # 5 mixed up. I can tell you for sure Monday if you want when I get back to my shop.
 
If it is any help, Your bushing look like the Energy suspension which I have.

OK guys, thanks for jumping in on this, looks like the link will provide the info I need, and you too JD, but if someone has a stock mounted up truck, I would still like to get those measurements from post 1,
Thanks
 
OK, can anybody just look at the substructure under the frame (the spotted rusty 2x4 looking frame piece) and see if its level with the frame rail or slightly angled to the front or back.
