New cab mounts
Has anyone used the Energy Suspension cab mounts on a 67? I'm having a hell on a time alighning sheet metal and I think it's my mounts screwing me up.
Is there an advantage to using some from ECC or LMC? |

Re: New cab mounts
forsale, check your radiator core support mounts.Most cab mount kits come with the later 69-72 core support mounts.They are different IIRC taller than the 67-68.They will cause alignment nightmares.

Re: New cab mounts
PanelDeland said it right the Energy Susp. kit comes with 69-72 radiator core support mounts which are 1 1/8" to thick to use on 67&68 trucks, this will cause to tight a gap at top of fender, to wide a gap at bottom rear of fender and cause body line from door to fender to be off. In order to solve this you'll need to pick up 67-68 core support mounts. Ours can be found here

Re: New cab mounts
Good info. Are the mounts on the 67-68 somwhere around a 1/4" thick? I think I have them I just thought they were missing the mount. So I did put in the 69 mount and they are throwing everything off. Thanks for the help guys.
