Replacing Body Mount Bushings

I have a 1980 f150 4x4 and I am wanting to replac the cab body mount bushings. I plan on using a cutting torch to get the old bolts out. The cheapest place I have found new bolts is at broncograveyard.com for a used pair was $185. New pair of bolts was $235. Does this sound resoundable? I am going to be using daystar bushings for $55. Anyone have any advice or know anywhere else to order new bolts?

Thanks!

William

Both prices sound high for bolts. I would just get some from a local store. I believe it is a grade 8 bolt (maybe grade 5?) you need.

Hello,
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but might save you some money. You con get a 2" or 3" body lift, it includes new bolts and would look better than stock. Kits go for $80 to $90. They don't include nuts though. you can get them from any hardware store though.

Hope thats helps any. Jrpotts01
