How hard is it to replace cab mounts??
I'm a Ford man through and through, but never dabbled with '67-'72 PU's. Anyway, I have a weak D side front cab mount, are they pretty complicated to replace?? Does the cab have to come off??

They are really pretty easy, assuming they are in decent shape and not completely rusted. There are six mounting points, two at the radiator, two behind the front wheels and two under the cab. You can get a package replacement set of polyurethane mounts that will work well for around $50.

You do not need to replace your core support mounts to fix the cab mounts. The front mounts are easy to get to but are somewhat of a bear to get out. When they are tightened the bolt spacer flares out. The bolt will usually come right out but the actual rubber mounts will require a punch and hammer or you can just cut them off at the frame. The rear mounts are easier to replace, but on my 68 F100, I had to raise the fuel tank to get to the bolt heads. At least raising the tank made the job alot easier anyway. Good luck.

Brain Fart...I guess you have to access the bolts, that may require tank removal. Forgive me, I was just working on pulling my cab the other day and I didn't have the tank installed.
Tank removal isn't that hard. A few bolts, a fuel line and 2 electrical connectors.
Naturally, it should be empty or extremely close to empty.
