Cab support bolts?

Are the bolts from the cab supports to the inner rocker necessary? When it is all welded, what purpose do they serve? Were they originally there for alignment?

Re: Cab support bolts?

I'm guessing for added strength. Lots of weight on the forward pillar with a door hanging on it

Re: Cab support bolts?

I would say they are there in case the spot welds fail from the swinging weight of the doors after they get loaded with junk and dirt like they would under abnormal use. Part of that over building thing that they do .Jim
