forward cab bushing

[Ken_Hart]

I need to purchase a set of cab bushings (rubber donuts) for the forward cab mounts but until I get that to that point I need to fab some temp spacers to allow me to bolt the front sheetmetal back on. I am moving back to Seattle from SC and have to get my 48 back to the point where it looks like a complete vehicle. .

Can someone tell me the approx dimension between the frame mount and the cab support (with it bolted together). I have a 2x4 that I was going to drill a hole thru but it looks too thick... so I need to use something thinner and possible shim to something close.

thanks for the help

I'd try a piec of 1 x 2 with a flat washer on the top and bottom to prevent it from splitting during the move. That should get you in the ballpark. Mike

thanks Mike. I have some 1x3 steel sq tubing laying around so I think I will drill me a hole and give it a shot..
