Another cab mount and fuel question!
 
I removed the 4 cab mount bolts and the cab is still tight. Do I need to remove the front radiator support mounts as well? FYI, the fenders and etc. are bolted up and I haven't touched anything up front.

I need a picture of the factory hard crossover fuel lines installed. Also, I need the fuel clips to secure the three of them together. Where can I find them? I'm having trouble putting them together and having the ends sit properly.

Thanks in advance. :)

Just buy a fuel Cell and run Steel Braided line from it to the carb :D

LMC would probably be your best be on this.

That was my plan for a while, but I spent a few hundred dollars "restoring" my factory tanks. ;)

Another question: My PST body mounts are 1-piece, but the factory ones are two pieces. Am I supposed to cut the PST ones in half? There is a line down the center of them. :confused:

TIMSPEED 04-03-2003 04:44 PM

The PST's should be both of the factory pieces combined. (hence the line in the middle) They're the same width as the 2 factory ones, right??

Yep, they are combined. The PST ones are the same width and a bit higher. I'll have to cut them down that line---What should I use for a clean cut? I know Chris said he used PST mounts on his truck. Hopefully, he'll see this and chime in. :)

TTT ;)

Anyone? :(

You shouldn't have to cut the bushings. They should be seperated already and have 12 in a package. Are you sure you have the right part number?

Hmm............Not sure if this is the PN or not---3.4116G? :confused: I'll have to give them a call tomorrow. :mad:

Now, why isn't my cab lifting up?

There are 6 mounts. Two in back, two in middle, and two at the front of the frame.

Okay, then I do have to remove the radiator support mounts as well. :) I'll keep you guys' updated on my situation with PST. :bowtie:

Stupid question I know, but what are you using to try and lift it?

A floor jack and 2x4. I'll remove the front mounts and see if that does the trick. :)

Captkaos 04-04-2003 12:11 AM

I wouldn't "remove" them. I would take one side completely out, and losen the opposite side. And yes you need to losen all of them.
