I wish I known before I started, but it's to late to turn back now.
I am doing a frame off resto on a 63 f100 4x4 flairside. Have all body panels, frame and brakes done going to finally start putting truck back together. Then I find out they don't make cab or rad support mounts for 4x4s. I was hoping someone out there maybe has some they could sell? Or is this a lost cause and I should give up looking?
Thank you

 

Alright so they don't make these parts I am looking for, and I read a post from number dummy that said improvise using tires.
So my next question is can anybody tell me how thick, so the cab sits right and the rest of the panels line up.
Or does anybody make a body lift kit for this truck then it would come with all the mounts I need.

 

Improvise. Years ago I used (free) 1" bolts and chunks of discarded conveyor belt to replace mounts. I was very impressed with my handiwork. I might not be so impressed now, but I had a problem and no money to solve it with.

These are the mounts you are looking for.

 

This is what the radiator support mount bolts should look like.

 

Yeah, are you just trying to tease me? I know what they look like I took them off the truck. I need to know where to find them mine are to far gone to put back on.
Did you make those core support mounts? Or find them some where?
How about a 3D printer for the cab to frame mounts.

 

I seem to remember part of a thread where a member said someone made some mounts for him using water jets to cut the rubber. Anyone remember that thread?

 

The pictures were just to show others the type of mounts you were looking for. I had some extras left over from when I restored my 4x4.

 

I am sorry sarcasm doesn't work in text, when I asked if you were teasing me. Although your (hy-guy) post does read " these are the mounts you are looking for" so I responded with I know what I am looking for.
So is this how this web site works? Where senior users talk down to the new one asking questions? What a waste of my time, glad I didn't waste my money subscribing to this site.if I hurt your feeling it's time grow up.

 

Im new here and it reads to me like they were trying to help you. Just my take

 

I actually was trying to help him out. I have several extra sets of those mounts and was wondering if any looked good enough for him to use.

 

Here is the link to the a thread I started a few months back,

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post16291312

I contacted the company about making them, and dropped the ball. I forgot to follow up. The guy at the company @ Laser Cut Gaskets ? Flash Cut Gaskets ? Waterjet Cut Gaskets - Die Cut Gaskets ? Lathe Cut Gaskets ? Gasket Die Stamping - Kiss Cut Gaskets

I am going to contact him again, he said my diagram was too detailed for his machine, I guess his is only a 1 axis cutter and they can turn the material once.

Here is my diagram,



Another member who did have his made used this diagram... (his was manufactured)



I also contacted a company about making some using my diagram... but they wanted $1200 for a mold... not enough of these trucks around for that kinda money.

Hope this information helps

 

Very odd, not at all what mine looked like on my 64 F350. I mean same concept, but my springs were way longer.

 

That is true. The 4x4's up to the F600 models used the taller springs. The shorter ones I showed were used mainly in the unibodies to help the body flex more. The picture is just for reference to what they look like.

 

Alright then! Thanks for the info!
