3/4 Ton of fun - ‘95 Sierra

@fancyTBI didn’t you say you bought new cab mounts from LMC? If you could snap a picture of one of the front core support mounts I’d appreciate it.

I actually didn’t buy the core support ones (not sure why!) but I believe they are the same as the other cab mounts - minus those for the extended cab.

Step 1: buy ICON extractor set
Step 2: see that they don’t work
Step 3: rummage through my great grandfathers tools that my dad keeps on hand
Step 4: spend 1 minute removing
Step 5: return ICON tool set

Another instance of " they made it better, back in the day"! That looks like the Century extractors we used to sell at the parts store. All American made....

Thank you. Did it come with the lower half?

It came with the lower bushing. It did not come with the metal cups. Those were OOS. I am going to clean and reusing mine. They are soaking in KS as we speak. Do you need a photo of the lower bushing? It looks like that one.

No, I’m good thanks. Metal cups will be fine.

Today I got the wax put on the fuel tank, notched the bed braces, and cut the exhaust off. I will be ready to finalize the body mounts on Sunday.

@Caman96 said he used a wax ring and I used the same.

Think I got pretty lucky here. Driver rear cab mount bolt.

I’ve honestly seen them thinner come out. Lol

I did use that wax, it doesn’t solidify like candle wax, stays soft and seals better.

And it was satisfying to pour on there.

I wish I could see the branding on it. These were in an ancient cardboard case for them along with some left handed bits. The ICON ones just aren’t aggressive enough.
