Cab mount bushing questions

Hi I just got done painting my 1978 Ford F150. I am looking to buy new cab mount bushings but all the ones I find have 12 bushings shouldn’t there just be 4 for the cab and two for the radiator support? What are all the rest for? Thank you.

I agree with Fomoko1 ^^^^^^^

. . . but while we're here: Could it be that the kit has two bushings per location, one for the top and one for the bottom on each? So front two on bottom, front two on top, cab four on bottom, and cab four on top . . . for a total of twelve . . . ?

Welcome aboard!
