I think this is close enough, but I'm not sure.

I started on motor mounts and realized I need to do some more research on them, so I called it a day so I can to just that.
If you're not sure, then you're doing something right haha. I think I spent 3 days back and forth looking at mine before I was happy.

There are a few ways to do cab mounts. I was a fan of mine because they were fairly easy to build. I used 4x4 box steel and cut it to suit. Some people build it in 4 sections instead to make it a little cleaner.
