Hello to all,

on my 72 GTS the rubbers between the chassis and the body (where the body is mounted on the chassis) are worn. Anybody an idea where to get new ones and how to exchange cost-efficient?

Not sure of the size but between Energy Suspensions and LMC Trucks I was able to find exact matches for my '76.  I used the '76 Bronco for the core support bushings and Energy Suspension for the balance.

Tighten it down until it snaps and then back it off a half turn!
