Re: Replace Cab / frame mounting hardware

One of the main benefits of replacing them is if you're doing body work, all the sheet metal can be aligned properly. Also it can get rid of squeaks, rattles, etc.

I remove the bolts on the side I'm replacing, and loosen the other side(don't forget to do the same with the radiator support bolts, too) If your rockers are rusted, there is a floor support brace that runs front to back, between the mounts, just outside of the frame rail. Use a block of wood betwen jack and brace and lift cab enough to remove mounts.
