I'm going to remount my cab on my 55' F100 and don't want to pay the high price for 6 bolts. Does anyone have the specs for the bolts?

 

Thought I could help by looking at the cab mount kit I just bought from Dennis Carpenter but upon inspection I find they send me the wrong bolts. The ones I received are for a 48-52. But, look at Carpenter's and Mac's web sites and I think you'll be able to find the sizes.


What I do know is that I have some 1/2 by 1 7/8 course thread bolts that I am pretty sure came from the rear cab mounts (I know for sure they will work) and they fit snugly through the front mounts although a bit too long. All I would recommend is that you use grade 8 because of all the stress on the mounts.

 

these are grade 8 bolts right? head out to the hardware store and match the old ones to new grade 8 bolts

 

This is exactly what I did...

They aren't Gr 8, but they are shoulder bolts with specific shoulder lengths. Worth paying for the correct parts.

 

Can't match them up. They were rusted bad and removed with a torch

 

No one knows?

 

this ain't a grade 8 application... I'll measure mine tomorrow and tell you size... but mine are not shoulder bolts ???

This is all I can find for 53-56

 

I measured mine. 1/2" × 2 3/4" bolt with 1 5/8" shank. Mine are the same for front and rear. I would just order the kit though. I doubt you'll find nuts and bolts much cheaper at the hardware store. Cab Mounting | 1953-56 F100 - F250 | LMC Truck

 

The kit is just a regular bolt I have bought the kit. Deliver pizza on weekends and buy the kit.

 

I have bolts at a friends shop that I can have for free. That's why I'm asking.

 

Two of the long bolts, four of the shorter bolt.

 

Thanks bud
