When this is done does the body have to be braced on its own when the existing bolt/mount comes out? I plan on doing one bolt at a time. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 9 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 9 | I assume you are talking about the rear cab mounts. I recently changed on my '47. I supported the cab with a hydraulic jack to keep the weight off the mount. I placed the jack towards the rear of the underside of the cab with wood blocking to distribute the weight. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | Actually I was considering all the mounts. Is there something I am missing here? Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | Bigmac54 regards to removing the shackle attaching brackets. I presume you undid the brackets on the frame and body and then removed the shackle unit to rebuild it off the truck. At first I thought I could do it on the truck but re-read my shop manual. However some people are telling me that it could cause more problems than it is worth to do it. Any comments? | | |
