Cab mount bushings and springs questions

[dezracer]

Im assuming that the springs are only on the rear cab mounts as I do not have any on the front and the truck is stock. When I ordered from Kaiser willys they sent me 6 1/2 inch bushings and 2 rectangular ones. Where do the rectangular ones go? The radiater mount maybe? Also Why would they not send the front mount top and bottom bushings which are smaller diameter? If I am going to raise the cab I would prefer to replace these as well along with new bolts, washers and nuts.

Does anyone that has done this job before have any procedures that would help me in this project? Thanks in advance for any and all responses. :cheers:

Brian,
Welcome to the forum. The wagons and trucks are a little bit the same and a little bit different, If I am not mistake the two rectangle ones are in fact for the lower grille/radiator mount.
I just flipped my wagon over to rubber mounts all the way around at 3/4". My current grille/radiator mount is 1/2" but I still have rubber and a chop saw to make adjustments as needed when final fit goes together.

My 2 cents for ya
As for the lower bushing, I just took the razor and trimmed to fit.

Thanks. The wagon has springs on these mounts too huh? Seems strange. Anyone else with any information ? Thanks

Hey Dezracer, I'm no expert but on my '56 Wagon I have 2 rectangle pads that are found on the upper corners of the firewall where the fenders attach. They measure approx. 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 2". Hope this helps.
