Need new core support mounts

Just removed my old core support last weekend. It had bad rust and battery acid on passenger side. I have a brand new core support I plan on installing this weekend. Problem is I had to cut off my old core support mounts. I couldn't even budge them after soaking them with liquid wrench for several days. One of the bolts actually snapped when too much torque was applied with a breaker bar. I want to order new mounts from Ford but I cannot find a part number or part description on any of the Ford part websites. Does anyone know what the part numbers are for the core support upper, lower, rubber bushing, bolt and shims?

I tried Bronco Graveyard but they only sell the core support upper, I rather replace the whole mess if I have to order parts.

I don't know what year your Bronco is, but the parts were discontinued by Ford for my '84 so I got the complete core support bushing set-up from Long Motor Corp.(*** Truck)

I've ordered those parts from Ford for a friend's truck, but you're better off buying a whole body mount set from anywhere that sells Energy Suspension polyurethane parts. The whole kit is like $80, which is probably less than Ford will want for one. You can buy a plain Grade 8 bolt & nut at a hardware store to replace the factory ones, and when you get around to it, install the rest of the poly body mounts.
