Body Mount Bushings?

Where can you get body mount bushings for a 3rd Gen Econoline? Are F150 cab mount bushings the same?

Right on, I noticed they're pretty close to the cab mount bushings on my '79 F350.

If I can suggest something instead of this "3rd generation" jibberish how about just stating your year and chassis info? That's far more helpful than some obscure cool sounding jargon some might not understand.

That being said here's a link to a thread about this topic: Removing Body Mount Bushings If new parts are preferred and you want to avoid the dealer try searching EnergySuspension or Prothane sites---they typically have something usable for body bushings.

It's a 1975 E150, the majority of the places I've looked refer to the 1975-1991 as the 3rd Generation.

Sounds like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Grumpy much?

Don't mind JWA. Most of us on this forum know what a 3rd gen is. And when it comes to parts like body mounts it doesn't really matter what year 3rd gen. it is.
