Body and Bed mounts? what to replace old wood ones with?

[LAWFISH]

Hey gang, I have removed my bed and need to replace the bed mounts and am assuming the body mounts as well. The wooden ones were junk and I am guessing someone sells newer rubber ones or something similar? I would not mind lifting it up 2-3 inches either if possible, it would help with the gas tank relocation. if not, I can make do. I know nothing of body and cab mounts since th etruck part of mopars is new to me. Any one have any idea, links to a good company, ect or ideas. I know the if the bed goes a bit higher, that I will also have to lift the cab to match. Any help is appreciated as this is all new to me.

thanks LAWFISH

There was just a discussion on the; dodgesweptline.org site about this
No body sells replacemenets
White Oak or Ash were the recommended woods to use
There are some high density plastics that might work

No cab mounts. The rear is only place a traditional mount is used.
The core support and front are just belting. I just put 72-93 urethane
mounts under my truck. Check out my Crew Progress thread in the
Photos section for details and comparisons.

When my bed is ready I plan to contact a local plastics company and
see if I can get some urethane chunks to use instead of wood.

Keep in mind the lifting the body will require other modifications.
The urethane mounts raised my cab about 1/2". The shift rod
is now 1/2" too short and will need modified.

I used treated wood , you'll need to cut the angle's off a 4x4 to be able to get them exact, I used my table saw which made the angle's needed perfect, their is a history of others in the past years if you use the search feature

I used conveyor belt material that was about 1/4 thick. Then doubled or tripled it up as for whatever height i needed.
This material is very durable and tough. Was a little difficult to make a nice hole through the center of the pad for bolt to go through. however in the end worked very good.

I think it would be better to stick with wood for the bed blocks. You shouldn't use anything that can be compressed, and some of the hard plastics can be shattered with enough force. I have urethane spring bushings in my springs and it seems to be holding up well but I'm not sure that a block of it would be good for bed blocks.
