cab mount

Can anyone give me the exact dimensions of the center point for this mount ? I want to weld in this washer correctly the first time for the proper alignment of the cab bushings.

why don,t you just measure the mounting holes on your cab and transfer that measurement to the frame horns you would have to bolt them temporary up to get it correctly then tack it in place then remove and weld.

x2 on this as When I did mine I centered up on top of mounts on frame and measured front to back and side to side on bottom of cab side and pretty much with these patch pieces they center up easily on top of mounts and marked what I needed ,,my cab laid out properly when mounted back to frame

The cab is in the storage barn. I need to get the factory location of the hole so alignment of the body will be easier. I did my 68 that way and it never was quite right. Lesson learned. The cab mounts center the cab to the frame with very little side to side adjustment needed.
