Default What is this rubber bumper called?

Hey guys I need help identifying this rubber bumper that is located on the front bumper bracket. I noticed today when I pulled out of my spot that it was lying on the floor, rusted out.

Does anyone know what it is called? And also is this something that I can swap myself without the need for special tools and equipment?

It looks like a body mount. Look underneath along the sides of the vehical and you will see exactly the same item between the frame and body. It is something you can do with hand tools. You should have a body mount on the other side of the radiator core support as well.

Might need a breaker bar if you want to pull one from a donor car. They can be difficult to remove dut to rust.

Check out LMC Truck catalog and they have a good picture of all the body mounts and locations.

Yup, you will have a hard time just finding one. The 2 that Chris found me were in amazing shape.

Thanks guys, looks like it is the Radiator Core Support stuff. I will check with my US Parts Dealer here to see how much it will run me as I will have to replace the bolt and everything. If I can't get it for a reasonable price I would contact you Chris I already thank you for your help!
