There is NOTHING absolute about those ****ty parts diagrams from Toyota.
They do not even show the frame.....

Mine is a 77 so yours may be different. for mine, the right rear has one doughnut above the perch, dome side up, and one doughnut below the perch dome side down. bolt is from the top with the nut and lock pin on bottom. The left rear has both doughnuts dome side up with the foot of the bracket sandwiched between. The bolt is from the bottom with the nut and lock pin on top.( I switched the bolts in my first pictures and went back and reversed them)
The second diagram is correct but I'll grant you it's kind of confusing when you look at it depending on how many beers you've had. When you get it set you'll see. It will sit nice and level and you'll feel a lot better. HTH

So the propery way is to rotate the rubber part of the mount 90 degrees from hos its shwom here?
Thought I'd add to this thread with more photos of a new install. I did flip the bolt orientation on the left rear mount to make it easier to get to the castle nut and cotter pin.
I also noticed that if you have the front square pads in the WRONG orientation, the mounts will NOT mate up to the holes in the brackets. So, it's hard to screw those up in practice.

not going to be easy to get to that cotter pin when the body goes on and the exhaust etc
Hmmm. Didn't think about that. Ok, I'll flip left rear bolt back to the correct orientation.
Another Random thought on those rear bolts... if the nut were to come loose you'd loose everything before you knew anything. If the bolt goes down, you'll have a chance to replace the nut before the bolt and mounts get lost somewhere random.
@bikersmurf i agree. However the one on the right is set up that way according to the factory spec for some reason. I flipped the other because getting the cotter pin into the small cutout in the frame rail was tricky.
