bodymount bushing replacement

[robmedina]

Hope this is the right forum, but does anyone know where I can get replacement bolts, washer and nut for the 6 body bushings.
I have been spraying the existing hardware for a few weeks now 2-3 times a day with penetrating oil but everytime I try to crank on them they wont budge and I am afraid to break them without a replacement.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For actual stores- I am in southern NJ.

I know LMC truck has them, but someone might know a better source for them.

Thanks Rockstar.
Would I be able to use grade 8 bolts from home depot or other hardware supplier? HD ones are zinc.

The way I broke them loose is to use a breaker bar/socket wedged into position at the top in the cab (working alone) and a 1/2" drive ratchet and socket from below with a long pipe for a cheater. I also used a wire wheel to clean the threads that were visible from underneath.

I see no reason you couldn't use grade 5 or 8 hardware that fits.

Thanks Earl- did your bolts break when you did it?

I Have had my mount bolts out several times, and never broken them, and yes they come out hard

Earl had a very good idea, deff try to get any rust off the exposed threads.

Standard hardware would work fine, but finding the right length could be an issue? Maybe try to get one bolt out and see if your hardware stores have he right sized bolts in stock before you tackle the rest of the bolts.

Well now I feel more confident to crank on them. Even if one or more break I can run up to HD and grab new ones. Thanks for the help!
