I need to jack my cab up to remove the transmission cross member bolts.
Also my cab mount bushings are shot. It doesn't make a lot of sense to put it back together with crappy bushings.
I was avoiding the urethane bushings as they seem a little hard. But I guess They are better than nothing.

 

I have not seen any rubber cab bushing for the 1st gens.

If anyone has any leads, I am interested in some as well.

 

I found both sides, upper and lower through a local dealership. Mind you, this was a year or so ago.

 

The parts department at the closest *********** is ran by a maybe 20 year old girl that doesn't know much. She is cute though.

 

I've been researching this for a while now. Have not come up with specific mounts yet. I'm hoping to find something that will work with little to no modifications to our trucks, or frames.

I can find a few of the OEM units through NOS sources...but a couple are no longer available. I'd like to find parts that are easily sourced and readily available.

 

Does Joe Leonard have any at mopartruckparts.com in shingle springs.

 

Hmm I didn't know about him. Thanks Nick.

 

I've looked everywhere on-line, even them, and found nothing.

 

I mentioned this in another thread some time back, but I used some bushings from a tractor cab to fix another old truck. Not exactly right, but they worked with no looseness. Just a thought...

 

I never found any stock replacement rubber mounts so went with the poly mounts instead. I can't really understand the hesitation in going poly? They don't squeak, that I can hear anyway. I don't notice any rougher riding, but I can't see how much worse a W250 can ride anyway. The plus is they should last the life of the truck without wearing out and compressing like the stockers.

 

Do you remember the application? What year, make, model of tractor?

 

I ended up ordering the urethane ones. They will work for now. If and when something better comes along They are easy to change out.
Gotta love living 100 miles from Summit Racing. If they have the part in Reno it gets here the next day. At the "ground" shipping rate.

 

I have the urethane ones as well...and plan on swapping them out eventually when I/we figure out an application for rubber cab bushings that will work on our old iron.

 

Sometime ago, I ran across a post from someone running the urethane insulators and it was mentioned that he found cracks in the cab floor around one or a few of them. Could have just been a strange coincidence. Don't know. I had already installed the Energy insulators when I read that though. Rather than waiting to see if mine would end up the same way, I went to the dealer to hunt for the rubber ones.

 

If we get enough people looking maybe we can find something. I am constantly looking under trucks. and older cars.
