When I bought this truck no body blocks were fitted . I fitted new blocks with the rubber pads tacked on . I was not sure if anything went under the front single bolt mounting so I fitted a rubber pad the same thickness as the others . This raises the front of the cab that the latches do not fit so I have removed them . At the front bolt the block is sandwiched between the steel channel so the connection will be " metal to metal" or is frame webbing involved ?
