cab mount frame dimentions

Hi, im new and was wondering if anybody has any info on what the frame dimensions are for where the cab mounts are located on the frame, there are lots of frame dimensions on google, but none show where the cab mounts are located in relation to the front of the frame (just the center of the axle) and its to the back of the cab and not the mount. (my original frame was twisted pretty bad and was un salvagable)
and as I do not have a complete front end (yet) its a bit difficult to figure where i need to put the cab
any ideas?

Welcome to FTE!

So, you have a different frame you're putting the cab on? What did the frame come out of?

I know that you are a new user but I would suggest that you put your make, model, etc. in your signature block and your location in your profile. You can do that from the User CP menu on the left side of the menu bar. Until then we can't be of much help to you 'cause we don't know what you have.

The 53-56 front cab mounts attach on top of the third cross member (where the rear motor mounts attach) from the front.
