It was not an easy job and seeing how hard it was might recommend a mechanic for it next time. I’d say around 8-10 hours of shop time at the minimum to do it right.

I’m curious about this too. Any noticeable differences in squeaks and rattles? I have a consistent squeaky chirp that I assume is from the rear seats or OME nylon bushings, but can’t narrow it down. Never thought about the body mounts

I have noticed it is a better ride and get less harshness when hitting rougher terrain. The suspension of course takes a lot of the load - but the body mounts are clearly something you feel when a heavy load is transferred across the vehicle.
Thank you so much - hope we can run into eachother at a meet soon!

One of my favorite details is the Multi-gauge clock that allows me to keep the interior clean without all the extra gauges. Great product courtesy of @Lutz Auto
Wow just WOW, Beautiful Truck !!
Man, this is a BEAUTIFUL 80. Attention to detail here is top notch. Will scroll back through the rest of your build, to see if you’ve posted them, but we need to hear turbo sounds. Asking for a friend.
