Cab support....
Can you guys tell me if these are the same thing?
The box section behind the rockers on both sides of my Truck are rotted out, and I came across these on Ebay are they replacements?

Re: Cab support....
Yes those are front cab supports. Many of the venders that support this board sell them. You may want to contact Wes at Classic Heartbeat.

Re: Cab support....
Looks like the rusty parts are the front, the replacements are Rear. The good news is if the Fronts are that bad the Rears are not far behind so your will be able to use the parts you got.

Re: Cab support....
Not to steal the thread, but are those bolt on and welded? Or just bolted on?

Re: Cab support....
Ugh... Appreciate the reply, I have one that's rotted out, one with a half dollar sized hole and the other two appear to be ok, since I don't weld I will most likely have to pay for that.

Re: Cab support....
Air chisel if you got one....I'm gonna grind mine off, then anything the wheel can't reach I'll go at with hammer and chisel.

Re: Cab support....
man eightbanger, that mount is clean compaired to my driver's side mount. there's like no metal left between where its welded to the floor pan and part of it that's mounted to the rocker. its horrible. but i also have to replace the driver's floor pan so i'm just going to weld my replacement support straight on my replacement floor pan. i need to get on that one of these days....
