Title: body mounts
Post by: tomslik on April 21, 2006, 08:47:51 PM
ok, here's the deal, 48 chevy coupe, very limited street use (especially when gas is gonna be over 3 bucks), lots of pipe (cage), no insulation,very little interior.
what if i don't run ANY rubber between the frame and body?
i got a feeling squeeks won't be heard :lol:
any other drawbacks?
opinions?
let 'er rip!

You won't notice any squeeks. It may make some body cracks over time, but they are repairable. :lol:

Just curious, but why wold you NOT want to put rubber in-between the body and the frame?

I used wood (same as Henry Ford did) inbetween the frame and cab of my 35 pick-up, and I wish I had used something softer. Mine rattles and shakes badly.

as i said before, VERY limited street use.
rattles will NOT be a concern...
more concerned with keeping the body in place,i doubt the frame is gonna flex...
