I have a 1969 C10 and have been trying to install new bump stops using grease and a screw driver but to no avail. Is there a trick to this, how do you get those "suckers" in there?

I had the same problem with mine. I ended up slightly trimming a small amount off of each side of the tab that pushes into the slot. I used dish soap as a lubricant as grease and oil can deteriorate rubber. Just be careful not to trim too much. it only takes a small amount. I also used a flat tipped screw driver to help persuade it into place.

Use brake fluid as a lubricant and they will slide right in.

wont break fluid be bad for the rubber?
i remember i was told to use brake fluid to remove the paint off one of my plastic model cars when i was young. i dipped it in brake fluid and it took the paint off alright, along with the plastic it melted off.

Some lubricant and an 8lb sledge does the trick!

With the high cost of premiums these days definitely keep those finger out of the way.
