Are you talking about the rubber body bushings or the actual mount that is riveted to the frame.

Have you checked with the dealership.  If Classic is selling OEM, that is where they are getting them from.

You need all of them? What happened to yours?

The radiator and the front cab are the same on every truck.  Burb, Blazer, pickup.  I don't think the rears on the Blazer and Burb are the same, but I haven't looked lately.

I think the ones for the front cab ones on all 81-7 are the same for blazer/truck/suburban, if you have to i say if the body is already off, cut some steel plates, use a metal holesaw and cut holes for the mounts and weld on the plates, i had to do this to my 80 as the front 4 mounts on my truck were all shot and when ou hit a bump the cab bounced(typical new england weather ruined this truck) until i had to replace the entire and the frame.

thanks

Look around in salvage yards i`m sure there has to be something for your rig
