Body mounts

[Frank Gooz]

I am about ready to remove the body from the frame on my Desoto suburban.

I have called Andys and he said he has only the side rubber. Also that no one remakes the rubber for the Front and or the Rear.

The bolts look like there might not be any at all. Could this be correct?

I would like help to find out what others have used. A picture and a measurement of how thick. We have to make our own.

I only saw side mount part number for the ( running board )

Any help would be very helpful from those who have removed the body's

 

Thank you

Frank

I'm using a universal body to frame Cushing Systems they are called Skok-liner they come in a kit of different sizes, I used the 3/8 kit. I purchased the nut and bolts, washer from my local parts store. These rubber mounts are interlocking and very easy to work with. My 1950 Plymouth suburban body mount are very easy to see. Bob Drake is where I purchased the kit. (800-221-3673) Be sure to get a catalog...

What is the difference between the 1948 Desoto 4-dr. Sedan and the Suburban? Is it the roof rack and maybe some inside trim. The 1950 Plymouth Suburban that I have is basically a 2-dr. station wagon. I don't believe I have seen 1948 Suburban, love the full grille on these cars.

The DeSoto Suburbans were  long wheelbase, like limos and New York city taxicabs.  18 inches longer than the sedans.
