| | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Welding in new metal to the frame cab mounts would appear to be the best option unless you can find replacements and replace the entire mount. Since no one but you and the next guy who removes the body will ever know I would weld in new metal. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 34 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 34 | thanks for the info. does anyone know where I can get the specs for the hole dimensions diameter and location?
