Re: 47 AD Rear Cab Mount
I'm building a '48 and it had the center mount...easily converted it to side mounts with the proper cab supports and mounts that are available through all the vendors. My understanding is that the side mounts were instituted to give a softer ride as they allow the back of the cab to flex a little.
As I recall, the center mount was a single captive bolt and I had to cut the sheetmetal in the cab to reach the captive bolt that had come loose. I cut a flap and bent it up and then simply welded it back down.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
