Dave, I truly applaud you for sharing these repairs and updates from a real world example and expectations. Working on a creeper, not a lift, rusted washers or welded bolts when they are not factory welded. Many have never seen a caged or captured nut even though this was a common design practice. Plus tips lifting one side at a time. Just super tips of the more experienced to make their job go well. Thanks Dave!

Really appreciate these videos. My Blazer needs this treatment in the near future.

Changing out my front end bushings, noticed the cab mount, and radiator core, and found this video for how to.... Appreciate they’re vids and business

My first ever build was a '66 Mercury Comet and it took 3 yrs to finish whilst figuring stuff out on my own. I'd never done body work or paint until then. I started my new project last week, a 2wd '71 GMC wideside. Your videos have already made my life easier and this project will go much faster. Thanks for the videos.

Nice video. I just bought a 67 C10 panel truck. It appears I need to do this to her. I’ll follow your steps in your video.

Just did this on my 65 with parts from Brothers. Thanks guys!

[jeffreytodaro]

Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm replacing cab bushings today & radiator bushings also! Peace brother

Had to do this very thing on my 68C10 ! Cab was lopsided ! Fixed it right up ! 👍

Just did this on my 71 K5 Blazer. The front radiator support ones are the hardest. Get all the rusty bolts off the inner fender and drop it down so I can get my hands in there. Should have took the radiator out would have been a lot easier. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Awesome video. The blazers a little different setup but the same principle. Thanks again

Thanks for this video. I took my truck apart a year ago and with no directions in the box had no clue how they went together.

I just did a long comment to a couple of guys about cab mount bushing install. Just if all you are wondering how and why I think I know so much is here is why; started 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC 4X4 truck restoration back in 1979. We've (our shop) done just under 400 of these units. Buying, selling and body-off-frame restoring and engine building. Back to the cab mounts my advice is very simple and clear cut ----do not under any circumstance use anything with the word POLY. My experience with that nasty word was with Energy Suspension company and it's cab bushing kit for 1972 Chevy truck. The composite component is so damn hard and unforgiving that nothing in the truck lined up. Body lines were off, doors wouldn't shut, fender hit the door, and everything --even the damn tailgate hardware jiggled and rattled. We had to take everything out and order out on ebay a stock OEM ---RUBBER---and that's the key word--Rubber-- because of it's ability to let the mount flex and move --the poly was like we put in steel blocks instead. That was our experience. Thx. Jim

Thank you for this info, this is helping me with my 1985 c20.😁😁👍👍😊😊

This looks great. I changed my cab mounts 2 years ago. I needed to tighten them today and the right side (Cab rear) tightened fine but the left side is just spinning. I think the cage nut isn't caged any longer. The gas tank is in the way so I can't see the nut. Any advice on getting a wrench behind the gas tank to hold it while I tighten from under the cab? I purchased the kit from Brothers Truck and they sent me one wrong part but quickly sent the correct one. Brothers has been very helpful in my project. Thank you.

Glad I live in road salt free CA. My '69 has front mounts, near the bumper

[jasonkfarris]

Thanks for these awesome and entertaining video series. I figured you were going to be painting this truck but still cringed every time you set the bolts and mounts on the hood.

[PelicanIslandLabs]

Anyone else cringe when the bolts hit the hood? ;-)
Regardless, thanks for the vid.

[peterhughes]

Very helpful!

You mentioned painting the frame brackets. What should we use? Do you have a video for cleaning and touching up the frame?

[kennethdandurand]

My bushings are due in any day now. My question is the rear bolts.... Do you have to move the seat and or gas tank to get to them? I guess I will find out the hard way.

Perhaps you can do a video on dual fuel tanks? I have a 68 c20 with a dual tanks but it is not connected to the switching unit under the floor boards. It was not a manual switch over, but an electric one. I would like to get it working, and if possible hooked the the fuel gauge or have a separate gauge? All 4 of my dualies had twin tanks - 3 were automatic the oldest one had a switch on the dash to check the levels in each tank. Thanks I need to replace the cab mount bushings - they are shot, so this video will be helpful
