cab to frame height/distance on 86 2x..

My cab mounts up front are both rotted and crushed, so I have no reference point to go from to make new ones and have the cab sit straight and level when done.

Measuring the rear the cab is 1/2'' lower on the drivers side, but that front mount is worse than the pass side.

Anyways, could somebody measure from the frame up to a reference point on the firewall, or even up to the cab floor from underneath?

I checked on my 94 bot that has poly mounts, and I remember the rear mounts were taller than factory, so I don't think that'll be much help.

Thanks for any help with this!!

Is the truck all apart? If the bed is still on it, I would use a string taped to the body line of the bed and run it up front as a reference. Just make sure the frame is level when you start doing this.

I don't have a measurement, and it would be hard to give one off a old truck, they are all a little squished by now.

I would get some new mounts and be done with it.

I would not bother making any.
