Rear Cab Mounts?
Are the rear cab mounts on a 63 3/4 ton interchangeable with 1/2 ton mounts? I know the brackets are different but can they be swapped and still line up?

Re: Rear Cab Mounts?
This is correct. I have a 3/4 ton frame I'm putting 1/2 ton mounts on. Just ordered a set from LILRED66 (Tony). Just grind off the rivets and bolt the other mount in place. Everything lines up.

Re: Rear Cab Mounts?
I think it was to provide a softer ride, they seem to have quite a bit more give than the 1/2 ton mounts...

The 3/4 ton is obviously a jerkier ride. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Rear Cab Mounts?
it was used to give more of a floating action to any of that style cab above a c20 due to the more rigid suspension
