'59 Apache: Need help with Front Cab Floor support Brackets
 

Does anyone know how to replace the front cab floor support brackets in a 1959 Chevy Apache stepside? I think they are also called Front Cab mounts maybe. I have the assembly manual and can't find anything about them.

Thanks,
Stan

I saw those but how do you replace them?

Cut yours out, I think they are spot welded in there. So you may have to use a wire brush on the inside of the floorboard to see the spot welds and drill them out. Use a pry bar and start working.

So are they spot welded to the floor pan or the crossmemeber? Meaning do the just rest on the crossmember?

They are spot welded to the firewall/toeboard (actually the firewall/toeboard is spot welded to the crossmember). However, the floor is also spot welded to the firewall/toeboard just behind it, so you will likely have to drill those out to. I just replaced my firewall/toeboard with a new one from Dynacorn (excellent fit), but since I still had great front mounting pads and crossmember, just cut the new one out around them and flush welded - now much stronger than original.
