Picking up a 55.1 parts truck saturday. Current owner has unbolted cab from chassis. I need to bolt it back down for transport. Does anyone know what size bolt is required. I was hoping someone would have one easily available to measure. Thanks a million. I'll post some pics once I get 'er home.

On my truck the front of the cab is bolted on with two 1/2 inch-13 t.p.i. by 3 inch hex head bolts (one each side). Length does not include head. The bolt goes from inside the cab down through the frame, and ends with a large composite washer, 1-3/4 inch square washer, lock washer and nut.

The rear of the cab is bolted on with two 3/8-16 t.p.i. by 1 inch hex head bolts each side (total of four). This goes up from the bottom. Inside the cab is a threaded plate. I don't know if the plate is loose or welded (rusted ) on so might be smart to take washers and nuts.

Peter, Thanks a million. I figure I'll be ok if I can at least get the front bolts in.
