All,

I am looking for someting or someone that can illistrate or describe how to assemble the hardware to mount the cab to the frame. I purchased a kit but, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how these parts fit!??! I think I have the front mounts figured out (emphasis on the 'I think') but the rear are a mystery.

i have searched the forum for answers on prevous posts but I seem to be the only one to ..... i won't finish the sentence...

Ron

Hi Ron. I'm not sure if this applies to the 1 ton but I hope this points you in the right direction.
Have a look at this pic . Sorry it's a bit dark but you can see the rear cab mounts on the chassis. They are almost like shackles.

Good luck

Jock,
thanks for the info. It was exactly what I needed.

It seem like I need to get the rear mounding hardware, a bracket that mounts on the underside of the cab and a "U" shaped bracket mounts on the frame crossmember.

Here is a nice pic that fellow stovebolter Curt B from Canada sent me when I was working on mine. Hope this helps.

Just-a-hacker,

thanks for the feedback .... you are correct about the rt\lt brackets. the cab i have only has the passenger side bracket so I will have to dig up a rt hand one.

You're right. There is a left and right. The part that mounts to the chassis allows for the taper, I only found this out myself when I re-installed them! dang
