I got lucky? 34 year old Canadian Cab Mount Bolts

[OlSmokie]

I'm getting ready to do the cab mount repair on my 90 standard cab and after 34 Canadian winters of salt, there was only one bolt that I could remove with an extractor socket. The rest were way too rusted to get anything on.
I cleaned off what was left of the head, held a nut against them and tacked a new nut onto them. Much to my surprise, I got them all out without breaking or spinning anything.
The extractor socket took off the rad support mounts too, and there wasn't a lot left of those nuts either. That's what victory looks like!

Go buy a lottery ticket.

Go buy a lottery ticket.

It's up to 70 million TAX FREE on Friday!!!! Lol

But not breaking a bolt on any of these northern trucks is like winning the lottery anyway.

Nice! I’ve seen pictures of worse though. What cab mounts are you replacing with?

I haven't bought new ones yet. I would really like to go with stock, but an aftermarket set is a LOT cheaper. I know the ride will be harsher, but I'm looking at a set of Energy Suspension ones on Amazon for $131.68.

That link doesn’t work.
I have a set of Original GM mounts for sale, but they are definitely cheaper at LMC Trucks.

These are the U-bolts that hold the axle to the leaf spring. I was underneath trying to figure out why my rear end has so much wobble (need leaf spring bushings) and my brother in law happened to walk by and see just how bad these were. Got them out just in time.

Time for a U-bolt flip kit instead of replacing with OEM design. I mean, the original style will last plenty of years, but those were beyond their lifespan already!

I put a pair of those in the front of the cab and it was miserable. The cupholder wasn't even usable, it would knock your teeth out over every bump.
