Wheres my frame cab mounts?

I got my cab off the truck today and my mounts are gone I hammered the rubber mounts right through them. Cant find new ones to buy any where and cant seem to find a washer 3 5/8" to weld in there. any one know of a write up to fix these, buy new ones or buy washers that big?

Pics of the damage




Oh and the front left of the frame has damage from an wreck, need to find a frame going to scrap and cut that out. Or try and fix it with heat and welding.

Get rid of the rust, weld in new 3/16 plate steel. Weld it in on the underside to have the flat edge to get a good attachment point.

No welder at home, take them off and take to a local welding shop, not a big job at all.

Well you've got a lot of work ahead of you, but others have started with the same.
At least you'll know every nut and bolt on it.
For inspiration when you get pissed you might check out this thread.

Again, good luck.
