Where to get cab mounts???

Does anyone know where to get factory cab mounts/insulators. I was checking things out cause I wanted to add a 1" body lift, but I noticed that every mount was at a different thickness/condition. I figure I should replace the factory rubber ones while im in there.

They were still available from the dealer last year, but pricey! Cost about $25 each if I remember correctly. One of the suspension companies makes the whole cab set for about $100 I think, the new polyurethane stuff so it won't compress and squish so much like the originals. Might even be able to get them in red!!

I put the poly units on my truck, they work good.
check the frame brackets for rust through and cracks.
I had three that were no good due to rust.
I ended up taking off the three bad brackets
and taking them to a fabricating shop
where they made me new units by copying the old ones

Prothane has them listed for 1972 to 1985 full size 4x4 trucks and 1972 to 1993 Dodge Ramcharger 4x4's.

Energy Suspension has them as well:

Way better than factory bushings. -Glen

Angry They dont list them for my truck???

So I called energy suspensions and they do not make a kit for my truck. I would have to measure all of them and piece together a kit. Problem is that most of mine are dry rotted to the point of un-measurability...Can some one give me the dimensions of theirs that are in good shape?
