| | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 8 | I just pulled the fuel tank from my 59 Apache and discovered that the L-shaped reinforcement brackets where the cab mounts to the frame needs to be replaced. These are the brackets inside the cab that the bolts go through and that bends 90 degrees up the rear cab wall. They are cracked from stress and rusted.
Does anyone know if these are available new? I haven't been able to find them at any of the vendors I usually buy from.
Any help appreciated.
