Hello,
I am by no means the expert on here and someone should come along soon enough and correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like Body (or Cab) Mount Bushings are what you're looking for. The picture below is from LMC. Also, for future reference you should let people know what vehicle you're asking about....year, Model, motor, etc. That way the friendly people here can give you better answers. Good Luck!

Consider a full bushing kit.

You may need to get new lower retainers and LMC is the only place I could find that has them.

You will need to reuse the upper sleeves.

Give yourself time to do the body bushings because you will probably want to clean and paint the upper retainers and perches.

We did ours over the summer and it was fairly easy. You will want to get or make a puller for the old bushings.

Such as this.




This is one I made and I forwarded it to a guy in Louisiana. Check the market place ads for his contact information if interested.

Hi John

I bought a full set. You'll never know, when to chance, but the others look fairly good.

Glad you found them Vesterby. At various times I've seen them listed in Ford literature as "insulators" and "isolators" and even "cushions" once. But almost everyone in this country will know them by body or cab "bushings" as you found out.
They are often referred to as body "mounts" too, but that can be confusing and is more appropriate for the metal part (or bracket!) on the frame on which they sit.
You may never need to look for another set, but if for some reason you or one of your friends needs some and those names come up in the search, they're usually one and the same part.

Have fun working on your truck!

Paul

Hi Paul

Thank you for your answer and help. I guess it's a jungle sometimes what the different parts are called.

I didn't know LMC before today. I have allways used Summit Racing when I needed pars for my '66 Mustang, so I bought my parts here for the F 150 here. It's still located in California but will be shipped to Denmark within 5 days. I can't wait until it arrives here...

have fun
