Body Mount Count

I have a 2010 E350 XLT Extented body cargo van, I am looking to buy new body mounts and all I seem to find is 6 positions total of 12 mounts. My truck has 7 spots? What gives? Is one of the positions NOT considered a body mount? Confused!

Mega, this guy has the best info on a body lift for our vans.
He made his but it seems fairly simple.

I finally stopped by the local Ford dealer to confirm the number of body mounts, there are 14 on my EB. What was confusing was that all the after market sources were telling me there were only 12 mounts, they were wrong! Positions 1 and 5 are unique, all the other positions are common, so long story short if you have an EB you have to buy 2 extra common mounts. I just ordered my mounts and haven't received them yet, if I come up with any other surprises I will post.

From the link above.

My van is extended type---I used 14pcs of 3 1/2 round by 1 thick by 3/8 hole in center and 2pcs of 3in round by 1in thick by 3/8threaded. The extended van needs the 3in block standard van does not need

Diagram and part #s

I attached a diagram from Ford along with their parts list, I also wrote down the Dorman part numbers that I ordered. I believe I converted the part numbers correctly, wont be 100% sure until I mount the body back on which wont happen til spring. If anyone see's an error please let me know.

Everything worked out as planned? I'm also about to replace all body mounts and I'm a bit confused because I'm counting 7 portions in your diagram not 6 portions.

Thanks

Good Morning!
Just reading this thread as I‘m about to renew my floor.

As I have access to all body mounts I‘m planning on replacing them after 280k miles [emoji23]
Can someone share his experience how it works? From what I understand I have to remove the fuel inlet, then loosen up all body mounts, lift the body up by 1/2“ and swap em out?! Is that all?

I also watched a video on youtube for F-series and they mentioned not to use an impact?!

Any insight/ video/ warning welcome!
