99WestCustoms Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Getting ready to put the body of our Buick back on the frame. There are no body mount bushings to be found anywhere in all the parts we have. I have done a fair amount of research including searching this forum and I have acquired some of the information needed to order or build the right parts. What I am hoping is that someone has a diagram or list of all the components needed to correctly mount the body back on the frame. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Curti Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Steele rubber will have what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99WestCustoms Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Steele rubber offers three bushings for the body. But I do not know which goes where or how they are supposed to stack. AND... I asked Steele if they had a diagram or reference materials to help me figure out which bushing I needed and they said that they do not. So I am still looking for a definitive materials list of what bushing goes where and how many of each that I need. If I can not find that I will of course make my best educated guess and get the body mounted safely. Thanks for the information. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph P. Indusi Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 It would be helpful for you to post this on the Buick Post-War Forum. There are many experienced Buick collectors who can provide useful information. I know that one of the Buick collectible parts sellers such as Bob's Automobilia or Cars has a diagram in their catalog that shows body mount locations. They both sell several types of mounting bolts, washers, rubber mounts, etc. Joe , BCA 33493 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Would an old parts book list what goes where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph P. Indusi Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The 1952 Buick Shop Manual has a diagram, with dimensions, of where body mount points are located. I will check 1953 Shop Manual and see what it shows in this regard. Joe, BCA 33493 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
