You have a 2wd truck right? Far as I know no one makes body mounts for 4wds. There are no isolator mounts for the bed, the rails bolt directly to the frame mounts.

Off to replace or off to take off permanently? I'd be interested in taking that for the right price.

I bought two sets inadvertently....I have a red set I mounted and a black set. There are four sets for the cab, two sets for the radiator core, and none for the bed. I still have the black set if anyone needs them. For a 90 2wd Dak.

I made body mounts using A/T tire circles and dock washers. The bolts are M12 x 1.75 x 90, which I believe are the same length as the original bolts. You may see my procedure here:
