Thanks Dave as I've reviewed my info and believe them to be correct. Nice work (pics) Bob, Hans & showing examples as well. Here is a picture of one of mine I used that is now in the car.

Chick,

Any thoughts on why some cars have bushings where there is no part number or markings? Do you think it’s a case of different suppliers or perhaps the Service replacement bushings only had the part number on them?

To be honest Bob, I never had a need to research since our car had the correct part #'s, and many other rubber parts had part #'s identifying. The people that can really answer this are people who have a track record of reviewing original cars similar to Steve Shauger, Chris White and other team members who judge "Vintage" Survivor Camaro's at MCACN. And yes possibly some of these did not have part #'s but later service replacements did.

Well I spent some time on this, I hope it helps.
I put both survivor '68 cars on a lift. I was pocking my head up on the left side frame rail of Raquel and discovered a piece of the tape just laying there on top of the frame right next to it's original install position. :o
I delicately pulled it down. I measured it and it seems to me to be 3-1/8th" Left to Right X the foot print of the tape on the under body at 2-1/8th" Front to Back. Could it have shrunk some in 50 years? If it did, then I say 3-1/4" X 2-1/4".  The picture shows the tape. So it's clearly not 1.5 or 2 X 2  That's the best I have on both cars. Danny

Are both of these NOR or LOS cars Danny? And also noted yet another example of body mounts that meet the body having the integrated metal washer.

I just re-read this, I meant poking of course. But anyway, both cars are Norwood. This is the BY car. That tape from Charley's car looks even better, lets get that measured  ;) ;)  ... Danny

I am sure I saved my tape but can not get to it to check it out. I remember seeing it and wondering what it was and later found info on this great site.  Amazing any of it lasted 50 years

Mike, the bushings shown in Reply #1, 3, 18 (lower photo), 20 and 22 are examples of upper bushings that don't have the integrated washer so there is no metal washer to floor pan contact. The difference in bushing construction is best seen in my posting Reply #20. The bushing shown in the digital caliper is a hard grainy rubber compound as compared to the installed bushing (...361) in the photo below it which is a smooth flexible rubber compound allowing more  "squish" when torqued. (both are NOS) [/font][/size]

I clicked on those images and can clearly see the washer to floorpan. Every car I've torn apart since 1982 has washer to pan contact.  It's needed as a reinforcement.

I have a 67 11D here and there are no part numbers on the original bushings. Only numbers on the lower bushings which are 115, KF, 50,61, and 66.

This is the widest width (2.00") black crepe paper based tape I could source (thanks to those who offered to send me some however I ordered this early in the thread).

 This looks like a possibility. If it is too wide then I am sure it can be cut narrow being we are talking about short pieces.
