Cab mount replacement

Anyone ever replace just the floor section of a cab mount? The buckets are good on mine, but the part that sits under the floor is trash.

What are you working on?

To answer your question, there are threads here, and I've seen videos dealing with them. Mine are still sound in my '77, but I know that the whole "box" pictured is offered for replacement by several suppliers.

I actually have a replacement drivers side assy. I was being lazy and thought I could save some time under the hood if I only replaced the floor side.

since changed my mind. I’ll replace the assy. Same amount of spot welds either way.

You better block and support the cab, before you take any more of the cab mount skin off. The last thing you want is for the front of the cab to settle and be crooked. That will give you door/fender/cowl/hood gap maddness.
