Body to frame bushings
I have checked all over the internet for body to frame bushings for my '59 Galaxie with no luck. I was told by a rep. from Dennis Carpenter that a '59 is a one of a kind and they don't have them. Same thing everywhere. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find them? It seems everyone skips 1959.

This vendor advertises 1957-1959 KIT -
https://www.fabulousfords.com/detail...and_Convt.html Give them a call and report back what you find out.

Re: Body to frame bushings
If the picture is what you get that will not work. I need 10 of the big round bushings and 4 of the flat ones. I did notice they said there were exceptions as to what they would fit. I will still call them and find out.

Re: Body to frame bushings
I talked with Fabulous Fords and what you see in the picture is what you get which is not what I need . They are out of stock anyway.

Re: Body to frame bushings
Thanks for the info. I see the Lincoln old parts store is currently sold out. I'll check with them to see when more are available.

Re: Body to frame bushings
Unless polyurethane bushings contain graphite, they might squeak; use silicone grease.

Re: Body to frame bushings
TRY THIS -
- https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/cars/body/frame/ His kit reads 57/58 but the 59 takes the same insulators. His also comes with the hardware.

Re: Body to frame bushings
I talked with a rep. there and was told this kit would not work that '59 was different but they do look like what I have. Are the sizes the same?

It may be that some of the hardware is different but that can be corrected. I have found three vendors that sell this same exact kit but all give a different song and dance. The question is who actually makes it and describes it correctly. Do you have a 1959 FORD SHOP MANUAL? It should give you a detailed ILL showing frame mounting points and hardware. 1957 does. I don't know. Most of these vendors leave much to be desired (IMO). I would ask what the RETURN POLICY is and order and see what they are. DENNIS CARPENTER has a deal with FORD MOTOR where they acquire the original tooling to repro some of their parts. Whether this kit is FORD APPROVED is up in the air as the ad does not show FORD APPROVED.
