Cab Mount Sizes, I measured my new ones!

Ok, I got my new new cab mounts in and since there have been some questions regarding the sizes, I measured them from top to bottom, not side to side.
Front top: 1 1/4"
Front bottom: 1 1/2"
Back top: 1 3/8"
Back bottom: 1 7/16"
I'm thinking the spacers will dictate the distance from the cab to the frame, not sure. I'll you know.

That is new, out of the bag from Brothers, before they are put on the truck.
As a side note, I went to put them on today and realized I didn't have the spacers that go inside, and couldn't use the old ones because they were too rusted. I couldn't even get a good measurement on them. Turns out, when Brothers advertized that this kit was all I needed to replace the old set, I didn't read the part where they said you need the spacers. I'll give them a pass on that since they support our board and they are a LOT cheaper than LMC! But now I have to go to LMC to get the spacers. Four little spacers are going to cost more than I paid for all the other stuff. I'll give them another pass on something else later since I picked up the instrument panel (without the instruments of course) for $8. And thier catalog has nice pictures!

Re: Cab Mount Sizes, I measured my new ones!

Dang, Just shopped a little more and found the entire set for $70 at a couple other places, sleeves included. I usually shop extensively until I find a great deal then, and only then, do I pull the trigger. Now I'm in for about $100 for a $70 product. At least I wasn't buying a crate engine or transmission or something where I might be out hundreds! Live and learn.
