I've noticed rear of my cab is about 1" lower then the front, (looking a long the top of the running board to the bottom of the cab).

Can the wear of the bushings cause this must of a drop. I didn't noticed any issue with the mount to the floor. No rust at that point. pretty clean. If I run my two fingers wide between the cab and bed you can also see about the same inch difference.

I think it has also been my problem with the a alignment with my hood and cab. It looks like If I were to tilt the cab forward that gap would close.

Need some advice in this area.

Thanks
Ed

 

An inch seems like a lot for it to be worn bushings. My bushings were completely gone and I don't think they made an inch of difference. How are the gaps between the rear of the cab where it cross the frame rails?

 

I will takes a few more pics of the frame rail.

They look bad to me, but it's pretty hard to see. It's not that hard to pull one.

 

Where is the best place to support the cab to remove them

 

The pinchweld at the lower corner is probably the strongest place back there. That's the hangy-down flange under the cab corner with the spot welds connecting the outer skin with the inner structure, if you don't know what a pinchweld is. (and if you do, please pardon the remedial body shop lesson)

 

Thanks Wayne. I'm checking out Mid Fifty for the adjustable arm. Might go that route to get the rear cab up.

 

I've been wondering about those also......has anyone had any experience with these? ...(no hijack intended...just chimin' in)

Are they just for R-n-R & go or would anyone reccomend them to use
for a "frame-off" type truck rebuild?...

I will let you know once I install the adjustable cab mounts (rear). They were shipped from Mid Fifty should be here by Friday.
