I want to put new body mounts on my 1975 (thru 1991 I assume) E250 Van. I have goggled and dont find anything... I have also looked at prothane and energy suspension

I find listings for the trucks but nothing in bodymounts for the vans...

Anyone?

Neither rock auto or google (which would have brought up ford) have any listings for 1975 econoline bodymounts

hence my question

does anyone know if the pickup rubber bodymount isolators were the same as the trucks.... because trucks I can find

thanks

They are NOT the same. When I redid one of mine, I had to remove all the mounts, measure them, and sent the specs to Energy Suspension. They sent me the closest they had, and other than sitting 1/8th of an inch higher than factory, it worked out.
