The way that the rear body bushings mount to the cab should be tarred and feathered.

I had to pull my seat out and cut a rectangular hole in the floorboard to get access to the nut on the rear driver side bushing. Then I had to cut and peel away the bracket that covers the square nut which was spinning in place causing the entire fiasco to begin with.

Hopefully the front two aren't seized. I spent all day trying to get that bolt out without having to cut the floor but in the end that was the only option.

Awesome setup for the assembly line, not so much for restorations.

I honestly don't even know how they put the bolts in there even on the assembly line. That square nut needs to be welded in place....which I will be doing tomorrow.

Been saying that about several of our trucks aspects.

There was a bracket that held the nut, as there would always be some irregularity between frames and cabs that the bolts wouldn't always line up with a welded nut. This is why the body bolts have a tapered tip so they can pull the nut to where it needs to be.

I'm gonna guess that your truck is 30+ years old and you are replacing the original bushings.
That seems like a good design to me.
