now ive known the both back cab/bed mounts were going to be needing changed but i was hoping it could get through winter with it,,,, but i guess not

anyone know where i can buy replacments or should i just go get them from a donor at a JY??

Thats a great looking truck. but that rust sucks and you know it was from them plowing with it.

My stedads trucks cab mounts had rotted out and it has 1/4" flat steel welded on top of the old mounts. It was an old work truck from a nersery.

i made templates out of carboard and welded them outside the existing mounts when i did mine and put a plate on top cut out the hole and it looks better than factory and is alot beefier! Where abouts in albany did ya get the truck? thats about 40 miles from me lol
