Adjusting my cab on my '68 short bed

[Jason kitchens]

Hello, does anybody know any tricks on how to adjust my cab on my 1968 C10 short bed? It is completely put together except for the bed I just removed the cab mounts but not sure on how to move the whole thing if I can or not ?

What are you trying to do, replace the cab mounts? Why does the cab need to be adjusted?

More information would sure help on this.

Was in an accident and I think the cab was shifted to the right side a little bit making the bed not fit. I'm going to change out the bushings on the cabmounts just don't know if it will move forward with everything in place.

If nothing is bent that would keep it from moving back to it's original position it should re-center itself when you replace the mounts and insert the bolts. Jack one side up at a time just enough to remove the old cushions and replace with the new ones. Make sure that none if the bolts are bent. I wouldn't tighten the bolts all the way down until you have everything set in place.

This happened to me on a build a few years ago. The F/E was off and exposing the framerails. I could see that they were not bent. I used a one ton comalong to pull the back of the cab over but only to find out that the impact bent the back cab bolts. Bent bolts will keep you from moving it. LockDoc is correct. Make sure you have no frame issues and then invest in new bushings. The kit is about 75 bucks well spent. If you look closely at this photo, you will see the misalignment that I still had after pulling the cab over as far as possible. I added a before photo that I didnt know I had.
