body bushings?? Yes or No????

Hey all..is a rubber body bushing necessary when mounting the body to the frame? Ive seen folks use them, and some not. Does it really matter??

Use something like this
Speedway Universal Body To Frame Mount Cushion Liner, 25 Ft. Roll

That's what I used, works well.

I used a drive belt for a hay bailer. That is what they called it at "Tractor Supply" It is a rubber fabric flat belt about 6 inches wide and 10 feet long. The belt is about 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick. I cut pieces to fit between body and chassis at every body mount bolt. Oh course my T is all metal with no glass but I still would have used it even if I was fiberglass..
