Replacing the donuts (or hockey pucks up here in the frozen north) won't hurt. Even if they're still there, they're hard and brittle. On the '48 2WD, at least one was just gone - it dropped that corner about an inch and a half and made a real nice squeak point.
Thx Larr...I just bot a bunch of hockey pucks... Hope they work
OBTFW...i did not see any Springs on there tho there were lock nuts and really big fat washers
wow that's craaazy ... Never heard such a thing...body suspension !
Well, you made me think. I got under the truck today and looked at how the cab sits on the frame. On the front, the cab is mounted with a series of rubber pads and donuts, and sure enough, the two rear mounting brackets have big springs on the bottom to let the rear of the cab float a bit on the rubber spacers and donuts.
'"tis true - and that's what came off when we took it apart.
