Cab Mount Question
Scr8pin_f100
I have a pretty simple question, that I'm sure has been brought up here before. I need to know the measurements from the centerline of the front wheels to the centerline of the front cab mounts. I need to fab some, and I think the distance is 24", but don't wanna find out diferently after the fact..
Any help would be apprieciated!!

Cab Mount Question
Scr8pin_f100,
You didn't say what year but I take it from your gallery you're talking about your 55. It should be the same as my 56 and I measure 24-1/2" from the center of the cab mounting holes in the front cab mount to the center of the axle overtravel bumper. The axle will move forward some as it is loaded so I think it's best to use a frame measurement like the overtravel bumper instead of locating the cab mount off the wheel centerline. Hope this helps you out!

Hey thanks alot for your reply... I wasn't off by much.. I think I am gonna stick to 24" though, so I can center the wheels in the fenders better. Thanks again!!
