New guy here Just picked up a 03 Dakota Quad Cab.. I was looking under the truck and noticed of the 6 cab mounts running down the side 4 (fronts and rears) are missing the bolts and lower bushings. I assumed it had nurf bars at one time and they took them off and didn't put the mounts back on?

Any reason you can think if these are missing other than that?



Was going to buy new but they want to sell me the entire mount not just the bottoms. I figure I could make a trip to a U pull it and get some on the cheap.

 

i think your thinking is good. but ill bet the bolts / washer are special. the salvage yard is your best bet. but DO use anti-seize compound on ALL bolts on the bottom of the truck. and dont forget the brake parts, ie the tube nuts. after 90,000 miles you will glad you did. my 2001 dak factory service manual. shows the bed bolts have a special coating to lock the bolt. the bed bolts torque to 20 ft lbs. i cant find info on cab bolts.

 

Thanks info.
