Anyone here know a source for the sheet metal mounts on the front of the cab floor board? Mine were replaced with some homemade stuff, and the fenders/doors don't align correct. Thanks

Russel, I see thats a Ford part #. Does this mean they are OE parts? For $125, I would hope so. If they are, get them. I used the aftermarket ones before, sufficient at best.
OE mounts would be great, guess I'll have to order a cataloge. My brothers 64 will need them in a couple years. In MI, you can pretty much count on these trucks needing them.
Mac's Auto Parts has an online catalog you could check out. But I just put cab mounts in my 69 and I got mine from my local body shop. They were cheaper and I didn't have to pay shipping costs.
Brent,
If those cab mounts were not OEM it does not necesarily make them inferior, just curious if there were body shops selling OEM cab mounts (which I doubt) cheaper than some of the other parts suppliers that are not OEM. Personally I don't think it will make that much difference.....
I ordered the ones from LMC and I wasn't impressed with how they compared to the original. Mine were almost completely rusted away and I didn't have any idea how bad the new ones were until I looked at a truck that had not rusted away.
My 65 has after market cab mounts on it..And even though they too have rusted,its obvious that they were much heavier than stock ones. I guess it pays to look around before buying.

If you look under my 69 now, you can't really tell the difference. They were about the same price as Autokrafters and mac's, and no shipping. So I figured I might as well go with the aftermarkets.
