F250 Cab Mounts!! Help!
Restoring an old 75 F250. I cut the old cab mounts out as they were rusted solid. Ordered a new mount bushing kit, and expected the hardware to come with it. However, there is now hardware that came with the kit. Just the bushings. I have searched high and low, and can not find any place that sells the hardware kit.
Is the hardware something I can get at my local "hardware" store. What all do I need for each bushing? Will any old long bolt, and two washers work? Do I need a metal sleeve? Or, does anyone know where I can get replacement hardware?
I bought a 3" body lift for the truck, these blocks sit on top of the bushings, and the body lift kit came with new longer bolts.....but what else do I need? Any help and advice would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

You're correct, the bed sits on the frame with no insulators.
The front body mount bolts are 7/16"-14 X 3 1/4", the rear are 7/16"-14 X 5 1/4" (some of my info lists the rear bolt length as 3 1/4" also).
I believe the bed mounting bolts are 1/2"-13 X 3 3/4".
Also, the body mount kits (regular, not poly) are available from Dennis Carpenter, LMC and other suppliers.

I stayed away from the red poly bushings, got the black for more blend.
so far we have
bed 1/2"-13 X 3 3/4" no bushings for stock
rear cab bolts 7/16"-14 X 5 1/4" (3 1/4)
front cab 7/16"-14 X 3 1/4"
radiator support 3/8"-16
That leaves the length of the rad support bolts and the two either side of the front tire right?
