I have a 1964 F250 with a Chassis Mount Camper mounted on it. A couple of months ago I hurt the 292 Y Block engine coming back from a camping trip. I'm in the process of swapping the engine and tranny out and replacing it with a 460 EFI and ZF5 tranny from a 1989 F250.
I want to replace the rusted Front Cab Mounting Braces on both sides while I have the fenders and hood off the truck. Dennis Carpenter and LMC offer the Front Cab Brace (22" long) for the 1957 to 1960 trucks and the Front Cab Mount (12" long) for the 1965 to 1966 trucks but nothing for the 1961 to 1964 trucks. Will the 1957 to 1960 part work or is there someone out there who has a better idea of finding a cab brace?

 

If I am not mistaken I have seen the correct braces in those catalogs and they actually make the entire floor that goes a good quarter of the way up the cab side. This is the 61-64 only.

 

Long shot....I know the 64 and 66 front cab mounts are different, but just in case they can work, I do have a clean pair of 66 mounts I kept when I scrapped the remainder of the 66 cab.

 

Tom @ Flashback F100's has the early cab mounts, and he refuses to sell any off shore produced patch panels

Thanks guys for the help. I bookmarked the Flashback F100 page so I can return there when I need to. He has a lot of the 1961 to 16964 parts, and good looking parts too.
