Rubber. our cabs are like oil drums and you don't want to transmit more noise / vibration than absolutely needed.

So where is a good place to get the cab and rad support rubber mounts? I know LMC has them but seems a steep especially if I can get poly mounts cheaper.

I bought poly ones on ebay for about $50 but I had to make new metal inserts for rad support mine were rusted out. My cab has all fat mat and the denim insulation and carpet with the mass backing. Seems quiet but I also have crown vic front and air ride rear with dual 3" exhaust. Poly will be stiffer, think I saw where the cheaper lmc cab mounts broke with them.
