Replacing cab mounts............ - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ordered a new set of P-S-T polygraphite cab mounts. How should I go about replacing them? Aside from removing the bolts and etc., what else needs to be removed? Thanks for any suggestions.

just jack it up with the floor jack , enough to clear the mount from the body, they are real simple to change

I already removed the two rear bolts and no problems. Once all the bolts are removed, the cab will lift up w/o trouble? Being that there are bushings on both sides of the actual steel mounts...???

I recommend taking out two on each side and leaving the others in, but loose. This way, you will be sure the cab don't move with you and make a biotch to get the bolts started. Then jack up a side at the time, put in new ones, drop it back down, start the bolts, but leave them loose. Do the other side the same way.

Dave,

you will need to cut a hole in the floor to get yours out. No other way to do it. Then you can weld the nut back to the floor support, and weld a piece over the hole.
