[freaknajeep]

Hi all...Im getting ready to replace the floorpans and both cab front mounts..The pans seem easy enuff...trace. cut, drill out a few spot welds, remove, replace...blah blah...however has anyone replaced their cab mounts, and what if any are the tricks...any help would be greatly appreciated...

I've never replaced the cab mounts, but please stay away from the cheap one piece stamped steel $29.95 specials you will find all over the internet. They won't fit right and you'll soon be doing the job again.
Get some from Dennis Carpenter Reproductions. http://dennis-carpenter.com/trk67-79cab ... ng/c/1223/
They are not the cheapest, but they are the original style, and you'll only have to do the job once.

I used the mounts from DC and they were a good fit. I'm no experienced body man so by the good reviews of the mounts that is why i paid a little extra to help me install them correct. Before removing the old ones, I measured distance between the bolt holes from passenger side to drivers. I just log any measurements i could.

Thanks for that info...I have already ordered the said el-cheapo ones and pans from lmc...since the engine build ate most of the budget trying to get the truck back on the road as I need it to work and make more money to buy an actual work van, I was simply trying to replace the cab bushings since the core support ones were trashed and the body wasnt lining back up with the new ones in place...the pans and cab mounts were purchased with my exhaust budget.....I plan in a couple years to do a full frame off resto including making a dually style bed since the 72 f350s didnt come with one..so if the "crappy" mounts will get me buy until then im ok with it...
