Front Cab Support Frame Mount
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? |

Re: Front Cab Support Frame Mount
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)

Re: Front Cab Support Frame Mount
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
I am just on th3e way out the door to go see the doc so I will post you some pics later I had a pacemaker installed mon afternoon ron |
