These folks have them for 1981-1993 trucks maybe you could make them work.

Got any pics of your work? Im sure others in the same situation might interested to see!

And knowing availability of cuttable cabs in here, it's really not an option. They're either as bad as mine, or too good to cut.

I'd rather post pics when I get it done properly, as the last support was made knowing that I'll do it again in better time. It was much, much worse that what I was prepared.

Thanks, but I've learned in the past, that sometimes it's better to just make one from scratch, than to make something already existing fit correctly.

I am getting the two front mounts this week from a wrecker that is going to cut them out of a truck for me. So I can get you the other four if you like, not cheap by any means but the are in mint shape and much better than building a set. PM me for info you like. I see you are in Europe not a big deal just shipping costs thats all and they are not that heavy or big.

Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately I have to pass. I was crawling under my truck this morning, scraping off mud and looking all the rust damage and made disappointing discovery, and also remembered something from few years back.
Front right support is corroded off from the rocker, ok, I kind of figured that. But what I didn't remember was that when I replaced corroded rocker panels with 3"x3" tubing 6 years ago, I should have used 3,5"x3", because when I mounted that tube flush with the outer panel, it left 3/8" to 1/2" gap between the tube and cab support. So I ended up pounding support ears against tube and welded the together. This left openings to all the supports, which were nice passage for water/mud/sand and road salt to enter support, and the rest is history.

So long story short, my hasty repairs and bad planning leads to all custom supports. Damn.

Hi there i just joined thi forum, the pseudo is yvestr...Talking about these cab mounts, I Have the same problem with my 1997 Dodge Ram3500 Clubcab(the 2 behind the firewall and the other two behind these ones, approx 25inches from the back of the cab). Have you found any new info as for where we could get our hands on some? I've searched in the junk yards(even had the clerk make an internet request for them, the reply was none had them.I found a vehicule in a junkyard and found them in pretty bad shape. I can get them for 10$ea. just to have them near by & i'll make new ones form, that's only if i don't have any other choice. I'll be waiting upon your reply, thank you very much! By the way, I live in the Laurentians Qc, and here, the trucks over 10Klbs have to be inspected every year. My truck looks pretty good and is worth to spend the money to fix. Dont know how to insert a few pics from my PC to show you...

HeyYou 08-23-2014 03:16 PM

I don't think they are available new anywhere any longer...... That may be your only choice.

Welcome to DF! :D

I have four used front mounts and two rear cab mounts, $100 each plus shipping. PM me if you are interested in them.

I did change mine out back in June. Lot's of work if you want to make them look factory. Expect to find rust in the floors boards where the mount goes.

From this, drivers side
