Front cab supports are shot.

I'm the new guy here. Hope some of you can help me out. What is the best and easiest way to replace the front cab support braces? Give me some where to start. Thanks

Re: Front cab supports are shot.

i air chisled mine off.. they are easy to replace.. just you will need to get new cab mount bolts.. because if your support is shot i bet your mount is in need of care... there is spot welds you can drill out or just be like me and air chisel them out.. it took me a good half day to do both.. then they just slide in and weld to the floor and inner rocker...

Re: Front cab supports are shot.

Do I have to remove the front sheet metal to jack up the cab? Thanks for your quick response.

I didn't, but I only did the cab mounts, not the supports. I jacked up each side about 3 inches without a problem.
