Replacing cab mount bushings

Does anyone know if a company makes or remakes cab perches for these trucks? I've seen guys just cut out the rust an basically weld in a washer with the right ID to fit the bushing but I'd rather just swap out the whole thing than risk screwing it up.

Another thing you can do is go to a junk yard and pull good mounts from anouther truck. I'm putting my 78 on a 93 frame.

As far as I know no one offers them aftermarket. Junkyard perches or fabbing the washer or plate stock on existing perches.
