New Guy needs some pictures
Hello All,
Been lurking around here for a few months now, gotta say this is a pretty awesome site.
I currently working on my wife's 1954. I'm doing rockers, floor boards,and front cab mounts.
What I'm looking for is pictures of how the front mount attaches to the floor.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks,
Don

Hey Don,
Check out Midfifty.com. In their catalog they have a good diagram of the order of things. I HIGHLY recommend replacing the whole mounting point (top cup, rubber, bottom cup) as a lot depends on the mount. Here is a crappy photo of my install shortly after it was done. Basically the whole system works by resting the cab on 4 mounting points, 2 front, 2 back. The front mounts use a bolt that goes down through cups, a rubber and the frame "wing". It is tightened down with a nut on the bottom. Hope that help.
Welcome to the madness.

Think I got that right.

Thanks for the info,
I was really looking for interior shots where the cab support meets the floor pan.
Also, if someone could measure distance from the dash to the floor. Maybe where the door meets the door frame. Mines rusted out I could mount the floor a 1/2 inch either way. I just want to do this once.
Thanks,
Don

From the bottom of my dash, to the top of the floor where the inside cab support is welded, is 21 3/4". Mine is a '53 F-100, but it should be the same.
I recommend tacking everything in place, then test fitting the doors before welding everything together permanently.
The picture isn't my truck, but it shows how everything fits together.

okay so I measured mine last night and I was at 21 1/2. I also rehung the door and the rocker fit pretty well.
I guess I'm good to go
Thanks Again,
Don
