Front Cab Support Frame Mount

[reed62]

Hey all,

On the cab support that is riveted to the frame, how large a hole should it have on top for the bolt to go through? I took my cab off along with the old crushed rubber bushings and found that one side has a 2.5" diameter hole and the other side has a 1.75" diameter hole. My guess is this was caused by years of rusting and rot. I think they should only be about .75" in diameter or maybe .5" to allow the bolt to go through and for small alignment adjustments.

Comments?

This is my 61 4x4 frame but should be the same as the cab has some adjustment when aligning up the fenders/bed etc. Disregard the switch, it was used for eng break-in (no cab on the tk)

then you will just have to cut the top section out and put a new piece in. 1 1/4" hole saw and a bit of clean up to the desired size and you are away

Hope you recover well Ron.
Had a triple bypass in April and still thawing out from the freezing. Be careful, but enjoy yourself till you start feeling better.
