Hey Keith!
I purchased the same kit from Carter just over a year ago and the "Instructions" were very poor.
I had just purchased my project truck and was just figuring out that it was not what I thought it was ( a 1940 1/2 ton KC) but that it was a combination of bed, cab and frame from different years.
I made some notes when wrestling with the cab mounting kit that might be of assistance to you.
As was posted on the VCCA site in April 2024:
"It really is a simple job, but the instructions that came with the kit were pretty close to useless. They were an illustration that was not very detailed to start with and had been copied so many times that it was hard to tell a split washer from a nut.
I found a "Tech Tip" on the Stovebolt.com site which helped a lot. It included much clearer images of what the kit includes and those images were presented in a way that took most of the guessing out of the process.
A couple of points that were not clear (to me) from either source were - if numbering the 4 mounts on each side from front to back:
> The largest piece of fabric/rubber goes with mount #1, the next smaller piece goes with mount #3, the smallest goes with mount #2
> The longest bolt goes into mount #4
I am not an expert by any means! So if anyone knows that the information presented above is incorrect...PLEASE let me know! I am posting this because I couldn't find any descriptions posted by others that covered the questions I had, so I tried to figure it out as I went along.
Also, since I was working alone, I found that if I put a socket wrench extension under two corners of the cab as rollers, I could lever the cab around on the frame to get it to where it needed to be.
My cab is a 1940, but the frame seems to be a 1947, so where the mounting positions on my project are will probably be different from yours.
Good Luck
