Pulling the cab for better access,replacement of bolts and wood blocks some welding etc. these rear cab spacers seem to have seen their better days. I haven’t seen them available. What have others done? If home made..how? Or a source?

Blocks of hard maple will last about 3 days past forever. Turn them round on a wood lathe if necessary for clearance. Use rubber washers made from a big truck tire sidewall if you want a little cushioning.

Thanks hot rod! I think that’s probably what I will do, they do have those spacers in the $157 kit, but my springs were fine and some nice new long bolts cost me around $10. The old ones had seen their day. Although I’m trying to keep my 37 reasonably original I will be deviating With something like this. To stay a little bit more original in appearance I think I will turn a piece of maple to slip into a piece of inch and 1/2 OD galvanized pipe.
