1960-66 Chevy & GMC Truck Cab Mount Installation 

Yeah, we just did some too on a '72 we worked on for a TV show. Not a hard job really but you have to take so much other stuff apart to get to them that it takes a while. Good luck with your project!

Excellent!

Our pleasure, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

We'll work on that! Thanks for watching!

You can never predict what you'll run into when you're working on these old trucks. You really have to just dig in and see where it leads you. We hope you're enjoying the project, looking forward to doing some business with you. Thanks for always watching!

It would be difficult to swap the '54 onto a 2000's chassis. Lots of people are doing this type of swap, but they typically use a S10 chassis because it is narrower.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV thank you for your input I appreciate it that's what I was figuring I'll let my nephew know we would have to go a different direction.

Glad it helped!

3/4 ton use a different bushing, however it is the same from Chevy to GMC.

They are slightly firmer than the factory ones, and some people claim to be able to tell the difference. We've never experienced a different feel, and if anything, they make it easier to get and exact line up of other body panels that attache to the cab, like your fenders and hood.

Completely different for a C20, however a conversion is available since 3/4 ton mounts aren't currently available. Here's a link: www.brotherstrucks.com/1963-66-CHEVY_GMC-TRUCK-3_4-TO-1_2-TON-CAB-MOUNT-CONVERSION/productinfo/CMCK366/

Is the frame level? If the frame is level and the cab isn't, then its going to need some shims in the cab mounts. I BOTH the frame AND cab are not level, then it's probably your torsion bars or rear suspension.

The washer is more or less a spacer and an insulator. If you choose not to use it on one bushing, then we would recommend you don't use it on the other bushings either.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV ok gotcha thanks once again 👍🏼👍🏼

No they can't be used for the front, but we do sell the front bushing kit as well. Here's a link: www.brotherstrucks.com/1960-68-CHEVY_GMC-TRUCK-RADIATOR-CORE-SUPPORT-MOUNT-SET/productinfo/RSB6068/

So the problem you're having is getting the bolt out of the cab mount? We're not completely understanding what's stuck?

No, I found what’s wrong. Factory cab mount bracket has tabs welded to inner frame mount. Those tabs are non existent on repro cab mount. I guess I’m using wrong nomenclature, I always thought cab mount was the metal piece, and the rubber donuts were called bushings whereas you use terminology cab mount for the rubber donut package. I’m talking about entire removal and replacement of stock metal cab frame mount, or bracket if you’d prefer, that runs inner fender to floor brace and bushing installs underneath. But I’m resolving by leaving the inner couple inches intact and cutting my repro cab mount frame bracket shorter and welding to orig couple inches of bracket still attached between bushing hole and floor pan brace.

@@whatposterman1222 Excellent solution for your situation! This is a perfect example of doing what needs to be done on YOUR project. Great work and feedback!

Nothing planned at the moment. We'd suggest you start by replacing the bed mounting pads because they are typically worn out (they were rubber). After that check to make sure your tailgate doesn't have any unusual amount of play.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Thanks, will do!

Is your V8 currently mounted with side mounts or front mounts? Basically, how was it converted to a V8 already?

BROTHERS Truck Parts they are front mounts, just behind the fan. Not sure when it was converted but it was a long time ago.

@@deanmendez2626 if they are front mounts then the stock type V8 mounts we sell will work. Yours should look like these: www.brotherstrucks.com/55-59-ORIGINAL-V8-MOTOR-MOUNT-SET/productinfo/ESM5559/ . If you have any other questions, or need to sort this out more, please call our Customer Service guys @ 800-977-2767. They all know their stuff and will surely be able to help.

BROTHERS Truck Parts everything looks right except the bottom brackets. On mine it’s bolted to the crossmember ( no bottom bracket ) wish I could send a pic to y’all.

@@deanmendez2626 Call us and we'll give you a number you can text a photo to. That way we'll all be on the same page.

The 3/4 and 1t trucks used a different cab mount than the C10.

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV i think the fronts are the same and the back for sure are diffrent.

@@RCbasheracer Yep!

Very close to the same procedure. Thanks for watching!

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV I want to do my 71 C10 but I'm curious about the bolt removal. Is there access on the cab floor or do you need to cut a hole to pull the bolt through?

@@tylerljungberg4607 You don't need to cut a hole, almost the exact same procedure as what you see here. We'll be doing a 67-72 cab mount install video soon too.

BROTHERS Truck Parts awesome! When you do, please show the part where the bolt is dropped through the top because I’m not sure what that will look like without ripping up my carpet

@@tylerljungberg4607 Absolutely!

We carry mounts for panels too. Check out www.brotherstrucks.com
