Cab to Frame Arms

Does anyone have any xtra Rebuildable Cab to Frame arms for a '53-'56. They may be the same part for earlier years too. Mine are beyond rebuild.

It will probably be hard to find rebuildables. I replaced mine with some cast iron heavy duty arms from MidFifties. They were used on larger F-series trucks. Fits the same but has a lot bigger rubber bushing. $18.00 ea.

Hey Merten,
I will be having several extra sets but it may be a little while as I have to get them removed. Mine are all from '53 F-100s. As for condition, I can't say yet. As for rebuilding, I do have welding, fab and machine shop capabilities here. I assume the wallowed out hole and lack of rubber for the bushing is the main problem. For my own purposed I could probably make something quicker and cheaper than rebuilding one.

As I do not intend to use these type mounts I will be glad to let you have whatever I take out for free.

Later Man...

I don't know anyone who sells the rubber biscuits separately, that wedge between the arms and the mounts. The malleable iron ones sold widely are superior.

I wonder what your brackets look like, if the arms are so bad???
