New in town/Frame help
I just started and I am new to the forum deal. This site looks like it has alot of really good info. I have a 72 1/2 ton 4x4 that is pretty much just a cab
now. I got newer 3/4 ton axles and a 454 with 2 wheel drive th400 and a divorce mount np205 transfer case. The frame was trashed when I got it and has long since been scrapped. I recently got a 72 3/4 ton suburban frame that is in really good shape. I read the thread on shortening a LWB to a SWB and am planning on doing it. The rear cab mounts are different on the sub frame and I don't have the pickup ones. I was looking for measurements for the truck rear cab mount brackets and maybe pics so I could build my own. I also need measurements from the center cab mounts back to where I need to drill holes to mount the rear cab brackets. Thanks for any help. |

Re: New in town/Frame help
2WD and 4WD rear cab mounts are the same... i can get you measurements tomorrow since mine is a bare SWB frame and I need to replace my rear mounts... Trucks don't have center mounts though so where do you want the measurements taken from?

Re: New in town/Frame help
Sorry I didn't mean center mount. I meant the front cab mount. The rear rivet holes would work as a good reference point. Thanks in advance.

Re: New in town/Frame help
This might be confusing but here are some pics. I measerued from the front edge of the front mounts since I figured that yours is the same and alreay mounted. The forward hole on the rear mount is 41" back. I know that you are going to need a lot more measurements than this but it's a rough start. I also measured my old mounts for you. 2WD and 4WD rear mounts are the same but the holes (that the cab bushing goes through) aren't drilled in the center of the mount. Might be better to put a cab on the frame and go from there.

Re: New in town/Frame help
sorry for the blurry pictures. Let me know what other measurement that you need. I am sure that a full sketch would be better...
