I checked the link that christurney77 provided (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/92...ab-mounts.html) in response to timm1564’s post, V8 122 inch 1 ton (regarding the wooden cab mounts and found it very helpful. My question is, are the mounts the same for a pickup and a big truck? I'm getting ready to install the cab on my '40 1 1/2 ton and have no blocks to compare. If they are different, does anyone have dimensions or drawings of the proper mounts for a '40 big truck? Thanks in advance.

 

i had copied christurney77 cab mounts,for my 1942 2 ton. the rear and middle ones fitted ,but not the front ones. the front ones were different on my truck.

 

i think! i keep the old one i could take measurment if someone needs them.

 

Bernette... Can you post your dimensions to the link I posted earlier? We can send out as others ask for these dimensions. I think that would be great for later!

 

i,m not very internet savy. so i will post here, and you can move it were you want.now my dimensions are nowhere nice and neat like yours, but this is what i come up with today after supper. i will post it by its self ,so if you want to transfer it you won,t get all my rambling. now these are 70 some year old pieces of wood !

 

 

Thanks to all for the info. Bernette, could you provide the depth of the 3/4" notch shown on your drawing? Thanks.

 

yup in a few minutes. since its taper its 1/2 inch at one end and 9/16 on lower end.

 

I think I've almost got it. Just not sure of the left side where it tapers upward. The end dimension is 1 9/16" but there appears to be a missing dimension to show how much the mount tapers upwards. There appears to be a dotted line which corresponds to the lower limit of the taper but I'm not sure of what the figure should be. Thanks.

 

the dotted line was from nothing too 3/8 . 1 9/16 too 1 5/8 might just be ware ,i wouldn,t think 1/16 would change anything.

 

Thanks to all for the info. Now all I have to do is fire up the band saw and make some saw dust...

Give a look here, I think they are very similar.

 

you can see the difference here, the top one is one i made off your plan complit1107. and when i took the old supports out they were different

 

Who knew? CGFord Parts shows the floor pans and toe boards to be the same from '40-'47. I think only the fender wheel openings were different, but I'm a "new" truck guy.

 

i don,t know why mine is different. i remember trying to fit the front supports and there was like (too floor tins meeting together with a 1/2 inch 90 degree bend on both)a floor board reinforcement. which didn,t line up ,with notch in wooden support. maybe a 2 ton has more reinforcement.this is the better of my 2 pictures theres more contrast on this one than the finish one ,which is all black.
