55.2-59 Cab Mount Brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone make the cab mount brackets? I'm starting to design a frame for my 56 and am only finding the cab mount kit and not the brackets themselves. Worse case I can cut the ones off my existing OEM frame but would rather start with some new ones.
Thanks!

Sorry, I'm not familiar with TF cab mount brackets, but for my AD I just fabricated some out of 2x4 steel turned on end:

I just gave away a set or I would get some dimensions for you. like miracle says, just fab a set from some rectangular tubing and carry on. easy peasy. check a few frame sites and see what they use......rect tubing. welded om or flanged and bolted on.
frame dimensions and lots of other pertinent info is in here. good to download a copy
