- Width of the mount that bolts to the cab
- Length of mount that bolts to the cab
- Height of mount (that bolts to the cab) to top of frame rail.
- Distance of center line of farthest hole to outside edge of the frame.

Thanks again for this MARTINSR. Hopefully it makes sense.
Ok, I am reading your requests and see that those aren't the measurements I got! Geez, I can get them tomorrow but here are these.

First, the length of the mount that bolts to the cab, the one on the frame is the same by the way, the only difference between the two mounts are the placement of the bolts that attach it. The overall length is 3 5/8". The length from the edge to the center of the bushing hole is 2 7/8"

The distance from the cab to the top of the frame is 5/8"

The distance from the frame to the center of the bushing on the cab bracket is 3 7/8"

From the top of the frame to the center of the frame mount bushing is 2 1/8".
