Replacing the cab mounts? As in the bolts and rubber bushings...or the frame perch?

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

So today after school I got the four holes drilled in the firewall for the booster, they were not a piece of cake but not terrible either. The top two holes had multiple layers to go through which was pretty easy but the bottom two holes were a bit more trouble, once I got through the first later the drill bit hit the second layer which was on an angle and the bit kept on wanting to jam up but with some patience I was able to get through just fine. Here is the bracket mocked up on the firewall.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

I also have some more news, this project just keeps on snowballing. First it was "if I'm going to switch the x member then I might as well take the engine out" then "if the engines out I might as well clean it up and paint it" and then "while I'm at it I might as well do power steering, power brakes" and so on. Well I've done it again, I decided that while the engine is out I might as well paint the firewall since I don't want to take it this far apart in the future. So I have just put in an order for 503 glenwood green with one of my friends that is a painter so he can get very good paint for very cheap. I'm hoping to have the firewall in paint and the engine back in before it gets too cold

Exactly! But it'll be worth it.
