I realize money is tight for most of us these days but sometimes it's worth saving up for quality parts and often times less expensive in the long run, some of those cheaper overseas cab mounts are known to collapse in on themselves after only a few years, just something to consider.

Well for now its gonna have to be the cheap ones. Just need to get the cab to where its safe to drive. So will LMC work?

In the future if the are still around and when I redo the whole cab, I'll go for it myself.

Sure LMC's will work though i don't have any personal experience with them as far as their quality is concerned.

Sorry to Hijack but those front cab mounts that are riveted to the frame how does one go about changing those? Are you just grinding and knocking out the rivets then bolting in the new ones? Mine have a little rot around the holes that I was going to make a patch for but this just might be easier. Thanks DJ

I'm not changing those cab mounts. I'm changing out the part on the cab itself.

I've seen people though just drill those rivets out and put the right size bolts back in.

Good deal, you will be happy you did, they really are worth the extra cost especially if you intend on keeping the truck.

How did your cab mounts turn out.For others that will read this,the advice montana gave you from Flash back is spot on,they are rock solid.USA made.Others will trash this ,but I got all bolts and rubbers from LMC and they seam decent.My trucks out of the weather though stored in out building.(barn)
