There are no bushings under the bed, it is just 8 bolts that hold the bed down to the frame.

Yeah re-read my last post, when I said about bed body mounts I was refering to a Bronco as I had stated. Sorry if I confused anyone.

You install them the same as you would a stock piece. The way I do it is loosen all hardware, then lift up one side at a time on the body. Replace all the bushings on that side, just starting the hardware. Do not tighten any hardware until you have all mounts replaced and make sure everything is square on the frame. Then tighten them down. If the old sleeves are rusted together, then your sorta screwed. I've always had to cut them off and replace them.
