I recently replaced the body mounts on my '86 crew cab as part of a host of upgrades.......... See these posts for those details.....Part #1 Part #2
I had several questions come up about the process of replacing the body mounts and I thought I share my experience with the brotherhood.
I decided to use Energy Suspension's polyurethane body mounts, Part number 4.4107G (G=black, R=red).
I also got a three pack of their special lube to keep the polyurethane from squeaking, Part number 9.11110
These are the bushing for the front clip (left), front of the cab (middle), and rear of the cab (right). Of course you get one set for each side of the frame.
Loosen the four cab mount bolts and the two front clip bolts next to the radiator support. My front clip is currently off the truck. The front cab bolts are under a plate in the floor board.

Rear
Take the two cab bolts out on the side you want to replace 1st. Leave the opposite side loose, but don't take the bolts out. Then get a jack and lift the working side of the cab up.
