I am looking for the Toyota 52292-90300 Center Body Mounting Bolt Stopper. What exactly is that for? Is it to keep the bolt from spinning, keep cushion from hitting body? Etc?

i believe its for keeping the bolt from spinning. That particular oem bolt head has a flange on it though and sits pretty tightly into the well...which also has a (edit) welded lip in it. So I don't quite get why this is needed. I just left mine off...but if someone has a story where they've seen this work....i'd reconsider.

Indeed that is what they are for - anti spin. I JUST went through this on my 11/1979 which has the late model body mounts. The stopper is not actually a separate part, but attached to the bolt. It sits in the frame extension that supports the body under the B column. That part of the frame is narrow enough to prevent the bracket mounted to the bolt from spinning. the end of that bolt has a flange nut, whereas every other body mount uses 2 nuts.
I have 2 extra bolts that were cleaned up but should work if you need them - free + ride. PM me.

see my previous post on this this thread for a pic of what I am talking about. the stopper is part of the bolt.

Actually....what I believe @J40Fan is talking about are these. It is yet another clip that slips over the lip
of that mounting well and covers the flange on the bolt that @teleskier is talking about. These little
extra clips seem a bit pointless.

Interesting. Never seen these! But agree, not necessary.
Yep, that is it.

Just sitting here wondering about those light clips and I'm betting this may have been something
more about factory assembly than operational requirements. They are too light to do much in
regard to tub to frame secure fastening.....however they would keep the bolt sitting straight in the hole
if you were attempting to guide the tub onto the frame. So maybe these two bolts in the mid
tub were placed in the tub...clipped in....and then the tub was guided onto the frame using those
two bolts to line up initial placement.

I have another question for anyone out there in the know. The forward mount under driver and passengers feet appears to have a concave type washer that is welded to the frame to keep the cushion from shifting. Mine is corroded to point that it fell apart while removing the old cushion. Does anyone have pictures and dimensions of this washer maybe a suggested replacement part.
Also looking for pictures and dimensions of the structure that is welded to the body that this forward cushion is supporting and the bolt feeds through at the toe boards. Need to fabricate a new structure to weld to the floor board.

If you have the new cushion/puck for this mount point you may be able to get this quite accurate with
a couple of dimensions. As you'll notice in this photo, the cushion/puck sits almost perfectly
flat in the concave "washer" that is mounted to the frame (washer is welded in position on the frame).
The full diameter (outside lip) of that
washer is 75 mm. The inside (concave) portion of that washer is the dimension of the cushion/puck.
The channel that is rusted out above this is 20 mm from bottom of the floor pan to top of the cushion/puck.
For the tub member portion of this, I would expect a piece of c-channel could be made to work as long as
its width/depth dimensions were as least as wide as the cushion/puck. For the concave washer, I'd probably
use 2 fabricated washers welded together. The top washer would have a hole dimension that allowed
the cusion/puck to sit in it while the bottom washer would have a hole with dimensions needed for the bolt.
I need to find a washer to replace the one welded to the frame. One side completely fell off due to corrosion. I can’t find one with a shoulder that size. I may have use a press to create a shoulder on a large fender washer then weld it to the frame.
