So I'm finally getting to the cab rust repair now that the back half of my truck is done. The fro t cab mounts that are welded to the bottom of the cab itself are complete garbage. Not even enough there to get decent measurements and build new ones. I know I can build a new set but it would be easier and faster if I found some that were pre built. Anyone have any ideas. They sell a set for 97 to 02 Dakota's, they look very similar but I can't get the company that makes them to take measurements for me. Mine is a 93 4x4 ext cab 5.2 auto

 

97 and up are second gen. Likely the mounts are different. You may not have any choice but to fab your own.

Could check LMC truck. If they don't have 'em, I suspect you aren't going to find them.

 

screw LMC....

 

I agree... Screw lmc. And I know 97 up is 2nd gen. I'm just gonna fabricate some of my own, I'll use thicker steel too. Stock is 16g I'm going to use 14g so they'll be stronger

 

My solution. I am completely aware that it's a total hackjob and I'm not offended if you laugh at me...but I did the best I could with essentially no money lol.

It's been bout 4 years and the rubber has compressed a little but not much and the cab is still sitting a little higher than the bed (need to put some little spacers to lift the bed bout a 1/3-/1/2 inch,

 

My truck has a 3 Inch body lift so those mounts are all good. I was talking about the actual metal box welded to the bottom of the cab that where the mountains ting bolt actually screws into

 

Dur I'm an idiot and didn't read the whole post. Anyway I have a '94 parts truck that I could cut the mounts off of. They're not in awesome shape but quick inspection they seem more or less structurally sound, might need a little reinforcing. Not sure if I'll be able to turn the bolts out but if they're anything like they were in my '93 then they'll spin right out.

Let me know, any day I get to use my angle grinder and sawzall is a good day.

 

What would you charge for them

 

And can u snap acouole pics of them. I might've found something that'll work. The core support has a section on it that looks to be the same size but I'm not sure

 

$2 + shipping.
