Horrible Cab Mounts question!
Alright, in my almighty endeavor to get my truck back up and going, there has forever been an ongoing problem..the horrible cab mounts. Now, Both of the supports on the cab went soft in the bottom, and the passenger side is by far the worst, and when you look at my truck, it actually sits 2.5 to 3 inches lower. Would the cab mount be responsible for this front end lobsidedness? would it cause everything up front to be lopsided?
Because I thought there was another set of moounts by the radiator core support, and they're just fine.

Oh, and if you go to my profile and look in my album, you can see the front shot of the truck i'm talking about, pretty sure i can't attach photos, so thought if you guys were curious, there it is.

From the pictures I saw it looks like the front right (pass) radiator support is bad. Or the frame is bent.
The marker light should not be covered by the bumper.
Look at it from the under side. The mount bolt might still be there and the frame rotted through. My '68 has signs of the rad support mount hole getting bigger from rust/rot. If it gets to big the rubber mount will fall right through. My '72 had the radiator mount rotted and the frame was fine so that was visible from the top side.

Well, I did some looking around the engine compartment...and a second set of eyes did confirm that it is indeed the core support mount..never wouldve thought haha. That, and a combination of the cab mounts sure aint helpin! So now, I gotta look into getting another core, and a pass side inner fender..
