ericj, there are six wooden blocks under cab, these have 3/8 x 5 or 6 inch bolts with springs for flex. if you nguys can't seem to find these, i have a set i would consider letting go. just blocks, no bolts or springs. you can use valve springs, just not too stiff. i made a set out of rock maple. you can't use soft wood, it will break! gm also has some rubber bed mounts with studs on both sides that will work rather well, but are about 1 inch shorter in height. this can be rectified. complit1107 has accurate picture of blocks, but picture does not show true angles and dimensions.

I used hockey pucks on my '47. Just trim them for height, drill a bolt hole, and no one can see them unless they get down on their hands and kness and specifically looks for them.
