Cab Mounts for a 1948

[cobraffr]

Even though I had my truck for about 3 years now (in pieces in the garage). I have started my build in earnest.

I am in the process of moving the body onto a new aftermarket frame and have hit a bit of a snag. Since my truck is a 1948 it has a mount in the center of the back of the cab and rubber bumpers on the frame rails near where the shackles would mount on later model trucks.

Is it easier to covert the 1948 cab to the later mounting system or to add a cross beam to my frame for the center mount on the cab?

I have included a diagram comparing the two mounting options. Until I fount this I was very confused why my truck did not look like any others I had seen.

Thanks for any ideas or comments,
Donny
