Hey guys and gals,

I'm in the middle of a ground-up restoration of my 75' Ford F-100 Explorer 4x4. It was time for a new cab, and the rubber cab mount bushings. When I got the cab off and the bushings out, I realized that the mounts on the frame that the cab mounts bolt to are shot. I've checked LMC, but they don't offer these. Does anybody know a place that sells them?

 

Take a look at this thread. Should help you out. "mikestruck" is mtsalvage.com

Thanks. I sent him an e-mail. I appreciate the help.

 

You can always use some 3/16 plate and fix what you got... Worked for me. Bit of grinding and youd never know I put new metal in..

 

I'm afraid mine are beyond that. There's really nothing left to attach new metal to.

 

i had a local fab shop make new ones for my highboy. He did a great job and they look 100% factory. Might be an option for you to consider if you can find a good shop nearby.

 

Only the rear cab lower mounts are listed in the 1973/79 Ford parts catalog. They are the same as 1967-72. = C7TZ-8100155-A FTE sponsor GREEN SALES has two in stock (800-543-4959).


You may be able to use all the 67/72 cab mounts on your truck. The part numbers for the hardware are the same 1967-79. It might take a little work to make them fit correctly, but it's better than nothing.

 

Same problem here. I fixed mine the same way marcs724 did by having a new pair made up...no regrets.

I've seen a pair on ebay recently. Mb try a search there using 1977 ford truck.

Good luck

 

Framedept has them. I don't know if they are new or used though.

 

Thanks. I just checked them out...pic and all. I'll be in touch with them also.

 

i purchased mine from "mtsalvage", very happy.mike is a great guy ad i've verey pleased with everything i've baught from him. front cab mounts ( frame) rear cab mount ( frame-cross member ),rear shockmonts.. i have a few pics in my gallery of what i baught from him....

 

I e-mailed MTSalvage, but haven't heard back yet.

 

crap - wish I would have seen this earlier. I had some rust free ones just went to the scrapper on an old/bad frame.
Good news is I think I may have more on another frame. I can look when I get home, but am pretty sure if anything I on;y have the fronts left.

Do you need all 4, just the fronts or???

Let me know what you need, and if I've got it I'll send you pics and a price

 

Here's the ebay link I mentioned earlier. It's only one but you only need the front two this might get ya' half way there.

I think I've got a set waiting, but I'll keep that in mind if it falls through.
