frame parts??
hello every one just bought a 1979 f250 with a snow plow has the dana 60's front and rear. for $800. got the body off and getting ready to put a new cab on it. need to find a place that sell cab mount(the part that is riveted on to the frame) both fronts were totally shot. also need the rear cab mount ( the cross over on the frame) and spring perchs for the rear and rear upper shock mounts. i search all last night on the internet and called a few places everyone is saying obsolete parts cant help.
any help or links to someplace that sells this stuff would be wonderfull. Thanks D.J.

The spring perches and the upper shock mouts are still available from ford. The front cab mount perches here in the northeast seem to be rotten a lot of the time. 2 of my trucks needed them replqaced and I happend to find a good pair on a 2wd but the were a little different so I graffted them onto my originals. The other truck I just took some 1/8" plate and welded it cleanly to the top and set the cab and bushings on and drilled my hole from the bottom up, takes a little bit more to get the cab on straight this way. The rear cab mout cross member should just be replaced, some 2wd will be the same as yours.
