M38a1 Tub bolts

Post by RichJohnson »

Im ready to mount the tub back on My M38a1 and I dont remember how many body bolts its takes minus the two in the bed that are special. Also, did they have washers/ lock washers on the bottom? If I remember correctly the bolts were 3/8 Fine but how long do they need to be?

Any help is appreciated.

The correct shims, cushions and hardware are listed by body mount position in section 1801 of your M38A1 ORD 9 SNL G-758 starting on page 316.

Why do I count 16 rubber shims and only 10 bolts?
Am I off or doing something wrong? How is it supposed to be installed?
When I bought the shim kit from a very reputable dealer all the shims are the same thickness.
