Cab mount possition

So I,m looking for some information on the distance the front cab mounts are kick panels. When doing repair work I think they are supposed to be 9 1/2" from the kick panel. Once the cab mounts are welded in they are not comming back out.

Any help here will be much appreciated.

A photo to help where I am measuring from.

Measure the distance between the frame mounts and see what that is. Then center the cab mounts on the cab with that distance between them. I think this should work?

I know but as you know I had to repair those as well. I was hoping someone could through a tape measure on theirs to confirm the dimension.

Thanks, much appreciated. I'm still on the fence about the rear cab structure. Your photos were a great help.

Brian, I wonder if you could get that structure out of a dent side? Might open up more options?
