Cab frame mount measurements
My frame mounts are so shot that I have to weld plates into them. They are so far gone that I can't tell where exactly to position the new holes. Can anyone tell me the measurements for both the front and rear, on-center?

The best thing for you to do is drop two bolts down the holes, and get a measurement. transfer them to the mounts. lets say it comes out to 40'', take the center and transfer the 40 evenly to both sides and drill them out .... just take your time and step them out to the 2'' or what ever it is....... i had to do mine along time ago and i wasn't that carefull. i just x--ed the center and burned them out to fit new bushing ...... hope this helped!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, that's an idea. I guess this way I'll have some room for error. Maybe I'll go ahead and weld the front mounts on, then I can adjust the hole to match on the frame mounts. Thank you!
