On my Suburban, there are no pads or blocks between the frame and the rear body/floor.
My Suburban sits lower in the the rear than in the front.
I am guessing that originally there were wood-blocks and/or pads?
I will check the Factory Assembly Manual (if I can find it), but does anyone know if there were 4 mounting-pads and/or 4 wood-blocks under 1954 Suburbans (and, probably Panel) floors?
Maybe 47-55st Advance-Design rear body-mounts were the same? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 1,660 Curmudgeon | | Curmudgeon Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 1,660 |

Tim I can check mine tonight. Thanks, Phillip. That body-mount reference-page is (as you know) for front body mounts. Buoymaker, I am looking for info on where the 4 large rear body-mount bolts go through the frame rail. Maybe I will try wood blocks (and rubber pads) the same dimensions as used on the front? | | |
