55-59 Rear cab mount brace?

Is the rear cab mount/brace reproduced? I have my cab off right now and noticed that my passenger side rear cab brace is soft and needs to be replaced.

Follow up question: I have the cab supported under the steps . How much stress is on the cab mount when all the weight is sitting on the steps? Can i carefully cut that part out and weld in a new one?

Hey 59Chev
I can help you out with the brackets - had been looking for these brackets as well and found them this year.
Bils Truck Shop in Courtice, Ontario carries them. Quick Google and you'll find them.


Best of luck

Thanks JWcameo..

I've ordered some other stuff from Bills before but I didn't see those brackets in the catalog. I'll send them an e-mail..

Just looked at your pic again - I think we are talking the same location.
The brace in my pic is inside the cab and think it bolts to the floor bracket under the cab shown in your pic.
Not sure about that particular piece.
