Cab mount measurements

Hello all

I am in the process of putting new front cab mounts on my cab that is currently off the truck.

I’ve looked and I can not find the measurements for the cab.

Does anyone have the measurements for the cab mounts?

I think the distances should be as follows:

between the front cab mounts it is supposed to be roughly 45 1/2”

between the front cab mount and the opposite side rear mount is 65 1/2”

between the seam that is connected to the top of cab mount and the bottom of the cab mount
is supposed to be 9 1/2”

I am having issues with making these measurements work. I have the front drivers side cab mount off and putting a new one in and the mount seems to be shorter than the factory.

My guess is I’ll have to use a significant amount of shims if that’s the case.

does anyone have any diagrams that show measurements on the frame and maybe the cab?

I am not sure as to how perfect they need to be but my paranoid OCD self wants to only do this once and as correct as I can.


Thank you in advance.

Dang Moto, I wish I would have made measurements when my cab was off as my original mounts are great. I am not in a position to make them now though .

I just don’t think this shows me where the mounts go on the truck left to right.

I am pretty dense but am I missing something?

The rear are the same dimension from center, I "assume" the front are the same.

I suspended my cab over my frame with the new front mounts in place to identify the location.
