Texas - After seeing your reply post in
Rick Brown's thread on front fenders you mentioned you were still looking for info on this rear center cab mount for your '48.
I guess you didn't have any luck getting info from the source Kevin suggested???
Anyhow, I did some digging through the 1948-51 Shop Manual and a 1929-48 Chevrolet Master Parts Catalog and here's what I found.
The 1st pic below is from the 1948-51 Shop Manual
HERE. It shows the location and most details about that rear mount. If you read the mount removal and repair instructions in the manual, it indicates the mount has replaceable rubber "bushings" at the pivot point. It describes in fairly good detail how to remove, disassemble, replace the bushings and reinstall the unit.
The 2nd picture shows the 1948 Chevy Master Parts Book details on the truck "cab mount" components. The last item listed GM# 3660540 are the 2 bushings that are used for the center pivot on your rear cab mount. Turns out they are exactly the same bushings as used for the rear spring shackle bushings and are readily available as reproductions from
Chev's of the 40's and can even be found
NOS on ebay.
Does this cover what you need to know on your rear cab mount, or is there more???
