M1031 rear box mount

[jcollings]

Looking for pictures of mounting of the rear maintenance Box to the frame/chassis of this truck.
Any pictures will be helpful.

Thank you,

So the box is gone but you can see the holes in the frame and the mounts used.

Yes I see, I'm really interested in the attachment on box.
I know how the frame holes and the concept, just trying to see the maintenance box attachment points and that configuration on how the OEM design was.

Thank you

I don't have the box any longer but I recall it was a c-channel. Bolt head, washer, c-channel, mount, frame, washer, nut.

 

[jcollings]

So C channel face to C channel frame rail?

I think I understand what you are saying. The wall of the c channels line up. You can't see the bolt from the outside.

 

[jcollings]

So the 1st or 2nd set up?

It is more like #1 except it is C on top of C. So the opening is on the same side (inside).

 

[jcollings]

Got it, Thank you so much.
Did you see or notice any shims
Between the chanals?
Or just chanal to chanal

It was the rubber mount in my second picture between the C's. The aluminum body was not sitting on the steel frame.

Thanks again........
Stay safe and have a great evening

Been using the box for a mobile scaffold to wash my vinyl siding and eaves.

 

[jcollings]

That is exactly what I was looking for thank you so much

Mine just has aluminum shims between frame and box. Anyone know where to get those rubber bushings?

If all else fails,Go to your local skid steer repair and get an old tire. A holesaw and a little bit of WD-40 and make your own.

Why not some cab mounts?

Hockey pucks work great for body mounts.

 

[cucvrus]

Hockey pucks will not work. I had a friend tell me that and he tried it. They are to hard and do not flex at all. the will crumble. I am asking because I have a few brand new cab mounts from 2018 GM vehicles that are brand new. They have the metal mushrooms and the bolts and nuts. Also have many CUCV mounts that could be used with an Energy Suspension kit with urethane cab mounts. They are here and available. Just a thought. Take Care. Hockey Pucks HA HA.

Here are the mounts.
