Something is wrong. When I got home last night, I pulled out the 2005 sales brochure that I got when I bought the truck. In the beginning pages, it shows the truck coming down the assemblyline, with all kinds of "sales" propaganda, but it clearly shows either black rubber insulators or black polyurathane bushings on the frame rails that the body and bed rest on.
Could someone have removed them before you bought this truck? I doubt it was missed at the factory assembly line, but anythings possible.

Still interesting though. Even my 58 Chevy Apache had bushings. They were dry and cracked when I replaced them (removed the bed to install a new wood slat floor).
