Cab mounting ?

I'm getting ready to mount the cab back on. The rear mount brackets, which whey do they mount . I'm using the stock brackets. Is it the straight side toward the frame or the side that has the two ends angled.
Thanks

So I see by your profile that your truck is a 1950? I think they where used from 48-56. Do you mean the “arm” part of the mount, the new ones are kina’ a dog bone thing, here is some old rusty ones for ya!

Sorry its a 1950. Its the first picture. Does the side that has the cut out or angle in the bracket mount against the frame and rubber.

the angled portion of mount faces outward or down, away from cab and frame.
(straight side towards frame as you put it.)

Cheers

The first picture show where the rubber block goes. Now I took these so that I would know how to put it back together and the cab was (and is) sitting on its back, so everything is upside down and a$$ backwards but if that swings out to bolt to the frame would not the top of the arm be the piece with the cut off corners? I hope so because that is the way it looks to me but it has been two weeks and the old memory just isn’t what it used to be!

that picture got me all turned around too could be that someone got them in backwords, but maybe it really does not matter the direction? I just went out and looked at one of the trucks in the driveway so maybe I'll look at the others to see if they are the same too. ?
