Hey guys!

I am wondering what I might could do to help smooth out the ride on my 52 chevy 1/2 ton. I haven't looked yet but I am 98% sure the cab mount bushings have never been replaced. It rides pretty good until you drive over 50 mph. Even below that though when driving the rear view mirror vibrates up and down so much it will almost make you sick to look at it. What are any possible fixes for smoothing out the ride but keeping things as close to original? Would rusty leaf springs, or old leaf spring bushings need attention? What about shocks? Or is this going to just be a cab mount bushing issue?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance (pun intended)!
