60 GMC Rear Cab Mount question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Omaha_Man · 06-16-2012, 10:44 PM

I'm currently working on a 60 GMC and need to repair the passenger side rear cab mount. I have purchased the replacement patch panels from both LMC and classic parts and the angle that mounds to inside rocker is no where near a close match.
Has anyone found a patch panel that matches or and I left to making my own?
Thanks for you're help.

Hey there fellow '60 GMC owner!

I have not started body work yet, but I keep hearing, and reading about people having to buy the patch panels, and modify them to work. Cutting, adding to, etc.

Do you have any pictures?

Good Luck!

Can't help with the metal cab support question, but I know when I bought 1960 Chevy rubber cab mounts for my 1960 GMC 10 years ago they weren't even close to the GMC design, so I ended up reinstalling the originals. My guess is there isn't enough demand for the aftermarket to support these.

I think what you have there is called a slip over. Its made to slip over the existing one and weld into place, not cut out the old and use to replace. I have a 60 chevy and I am replacing them too. Im sure I got mine at Brothers Trucks.
