front cab mount replacement?

Has anyone ever used after market front cab mounts ? and which company would you recommend? I also noticed that on the DC website they list mounts stating 1965-1979? and they also list 1965-1967? It doesn't make any sense to me? BTW mine is a 66, also has anyone bought the replacement front fenders and or rad support? just curious how they fit and quality?

I used some from LMC and didn't like the way they fit. I guess that's what you get when you go cheap. I have heard the ones from Dennis Carpenter are good or try Flashback F100s

Thanks for the input but I'm still curious if anyone has purchased good quality replacement parts from other sources?

Stay away from LMC parts they suck. I got my cab mounts from them and The fitment of them was bad and they are thin and will crack within acouple years. Check out this thread should help your decision be easier.

The LMC cab mounts are made of thin metal and hardly fit correctly whereas the DC ones use the original Ford sheet metal dies to form the metal and as you can see here in an LMC-DC comparison, are made much better.

you get what you pay for.

DC below any question?
