Where can I find rear cab "donuts" for '67 N600

Does anyone know where I can find rear cab mounting rubber "donuts" (mounting pads) for a '67 N600 or something that fits pretty close? I understand they used a 1964 normal F100 cab. Someone told me I can substitute hockey pucks but as hard as they are I'm not sure. The bushings seem to be approx. 2 1/2" diameter and about an inch thick but who knows for sure because they are likely squashed down and pushed out.

Anyway, I can't find any and wonder what others have done or can point me in a direction. Thanks in advance.

Those look substantially similar to the cab mounts under my 69 F250, the 82 E350 camper I took apart, and the 89 F350 cab I dropped on that chassis. Those were all nominally the same height and threads, and really don't cost much so it may be worth it to just get a couple and see. Worst case, you may need to replace all the body mounts, or add shims under the these or the others to match the heights.

Good advice and thank you. I figured there was something like that around. I'm on it and will report back.

No dice finding any rubber donuts on their own. I can find only total body mount packages for 250/350's for $100 but don't want to buy because It's not specifically for an N600 and I'm not sure if any of it fits and I only want the rear mounts.

I wouldn't mind buying a whole set of body mounts--for a '67 N600 but I wonder if they would be just as hard as what I've got? That's why I figured to go just with the rears. Can't seem to even find a listing for those.


Ford_six, Where did you buy your cab mounts and what did they call them or where did you get them?

Just an update here...I still can't find the rear cab mount donuts for a 1967 N600. Ford_six mentioned they were the same as an F250 but I can't seem to even find a listing for these. Any additional info or part numbers would be very appreciated. Anything would help. Thanks.

Also, I'm new here and next to my name is a green square. Others have many of these green squares and it appears to be tied to the number of posts one has. Is that correct nd do I have to do anything related to the green squares? Thanks again.

Green squares reflect your reputation. People giving you reps add to the green squares.

I feel especially dumb because I actually had that catalog--duh--and it never occurred to me to look there.

If it ever matters to anyone in search of these rubber "donuts", their are four of them and they sandwich the frame bracket on each side. The part number is B7C8100228A. That's an old number--1950's?) so my guess is these are used on many models both before and after my '67 N600. There aren't any NOS ones around. They may be obsolete but there are alternatives around and my next stop is looking at the rubber donut's from the F250 mentioned earlier. Just an FYI here with the part number.

The part number is B7C-8100228-A. That's an old 1957 number, so my guess is these are used on many models before, not after my '67 N600.
Obsolete, no Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any. 1968/69 N's use a different donut.

Thank you and I guess that's the final word.

Somewhere there must be a close second so I've been looking through racing parts and car catalogs and hope I get lucky.
