I used conveyor belt rubber cut into circles with a hole saw. Works good and looks OK.

Something I have been wondering about as well, jml ...
When I took my '94 fullsize Chevy pickup apart, the body mount rubbers (4) were about twice as thick as the bed mounts (3 per side), and bolt-washer-mount-rubber-body-washer-nut. The bed rubbers are about 3/4" thick and the body almost 2".
When the '49 International body goes onto that frame, there is no way any of the original mounts are going to line up, so your idea of layers might come in handy for this with bolt-washer-thin rubber-frame-thin rubber-body-thin rubber-washer-nut. Oh shoot, I'd be one rubber short (don't say it!). May be over-thinking this too ... Don't really want to have to keep an eye on metal to metal wear (as mentioned) and want to drive this thing a lot !!!
This is something a little different but it's cheap and has worked for me. I buy the cheap plastic cutting boards from WalMart. I've used them for spring spacers, body mounts, shims, etc.......... Heck I even used the smaller ones to make the fuse panel in my truck. Oh and as a foot pedal extension. Worked great......
