    I am in the process of removing the bed to clean and undercoat it. When I go back is there any upgrade type mounts (rubber cushion or bushing ) as opposed to the old dried out ones that are on there now. I have it ready to lift and so far I have only lost one of the double nuts so i guess I am doing pretty good. any other ideas or tips appreciated

    I agree with TRUCK ACTION. Replace the bed mounts with Energy Suspension items if you are going to keep the truck. Mine have been on for 25+ years and still look new.

    Are these the ones you were talking about?

    Energy Suspension 8.4103 Body - Frame Mount Bushings

    I couldn't find them for the 2wd. Are the 2x4 and 4x4 mounts the same?
