With the cab mounts like that there's got to be stress on the lower steering column bearing and Rag Joint.

My cab mounts and floorboards need to be replaced. But I don't have the time to take it off the road and fix it. Maybe this summer.

I hope your mounts and floor are not as bad as mine '351Cleveland C4'. And thanks for the info JeffFaFa, I wondered what issues might be brought up because of the rubber mounts not being used in the front. Maybe when I fab the strap I could drill a hole for the mount bolt and go ahead and use the original mount hardware with the rubber. That would then eleveate the stress that you mentioned.

My driver side is almost that bad, the cab gusset is rusted out on the end too. For what ever reason, the passenger side isn't as bad. This was always an arizona truck so I don't know where the hell it came from.
