47 cab bolts
i would be very thankful if one of you folks with a 47 half ton would look and tell me how many of the 6 bolts that hold the cab down have compression springs, castle nuts and cotter pins on them, i thought they all did but can't remember.
thanks in advance! also does any one know of a dealer that sells the entire kit for the cab? i bought the wood from macs, but need new hardware...

Mine were in pretty bad shape, but I do remember the back 2 under the gas tank having the springs. The front 2 maybe as well..... The middle 2 were rusted away...
Whatever you find out, please post the info for me as well. THANKS!!!

Now all I have to do is remember where this thread (and the cab mount one) is so that I can redo my cab mounts. I haven't done anything to mine in months. Moving, blown out knee, working at night, etc.

You 3 are making me feel bad now. All I have done is try to restore it to original condition, 6v and all. I did add things like another tail light and turn signals, alternator and a right side mirror...
