When I took the truck to have it media blasted, they removed the cab. Unfortunately they removed the cab mounting shackles in the rear and lost them. Does anyone know where I can buy new or used ones?

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

There are as many as 4 shims and two lock plates (threaded) which go inside behind seat tub. It is a good idea to use them instead of just nuts and flats since they will pull through depending on use. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2235943390102454676FUuGUvhttp://community.webshots.com/photo/2379203940102454676qNTFMD | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,254 | You can also check with JIMBO.
