A couple of years ago, I was working on my Tahoe and had removed my skid plates. Can't remember why, but I found that these rubber bushings for the plate were really deteriorated, so being the confident genius I am, I threw them away and said to myself "self, you can buy these later".
Jump forward to last week, I decide it's time to put the plates back on and now I have no idea where to get these rubber bushings.
Anybody got a lead on these or am I shopping for a new skid plate?

Try a quick search for GM Parts, you will find a few that you enter your vin to get part number. Post up results if you need more help.

Tried that for quite some time, no luck. I found several like mine but they don't clearly state that they're for my specific truck and the don't say what the bushing numbers are.

It covers the oil pan I believe. The bolts that go in those two larger holes on the left had large rubber bushings they set in to. Those are the ones I need.

My best guess is that 4 - 8 are what I need, but it's just not clear to me and I can't find the pn's for them.GQ05055.png

Grrrr. Thanks for the info. I suspected that may be the case.
I've taken all the measurements and looked at a couple of ways to substitute with other options. It's really just a matter of getting it secured and having the rubber to allow it to flex if hit.
I'll post what I come up with here for anyone else who may run into this problem in the future.

Post the last 8 digits of your VIN and hopefully @915_Tahoe will see it and respond with part #'s. He would not be at work till tomorrow to see to try and help.

Did you try any salvage yards?
I was offline for a few days and didn't see your post. Thanks for pulling him in. Bad news, but at least it saved me from spending anymore time searching for them. I haven't seen any in the local yards I go to, but hadn't really been looking for used ones. I guess I am now if I cant come up with anything better.
