Gord,
OK, now that I understand what you intend to do I figger'd starting a new
thread would be apropos.
I reckon the guys that designed the GMC isolated the aluminum body from the
steel frame buy using rubber strips NOT to make assembly easier but to
reduce the effect the steel frame flexing has on the aluminum body.
I have read here MANY times the beneficial effects replacing the flattened
out body strips with thick spacers from Bert & Faye Curtis has on the road
noise level in the GMC.
I would suggest you log on to the Forum and do a search for "Body Pads" and
read what has been said.
Here's a link to what John Shotwell did:
