Default 1964 GTO body bushings

I’m working on a 64 that has original body bushing. You can see that they are very rotted and sunk. My question is how thick is a new bushing for this car? I’m thinking the body is a good 1/2” plus closer to the frame than it should be. Thanks

Buy the kit from our host, Ames Performance, and you'll have the correct bushings. Who cares how thick they are if you're replacing them with new ones from a reputable source.?

I measured new ones for you at:
.73 for the flat bushing
.85 for the stepped bushing

Rubber measurement only not including the steel spacer. I believe I got this kit from Inline Tube (guessing maybe a common supplier) My old ones (also on a 64) were squished down pretty flat
