Re: '50 Chevy S-10 Swap Build

Now that I finally had a floor that could support the cab, I started to make up some cab mounts. I looked at everyone's mounts around and used them in my own design. Ended up using some thick 3x1.5" tubing that i cut diagonally and welded plates on top that were 3.5" long.

Also made some gussets that I will weld onto the frame to strengthen them up as much as possible.

I know many people use the s-10 bushings but I didn't have them so I just bought some rubber insulators from napa for like $3. Think they should work just as fine. Thought I would post the dimensions that I found for the placement of the front mounts. If you measure 4" behind the oval frame hole found at the frame bend, this is where the center of your mount should be at for what I found to be the proper wheel alignment. Here is about where mine sits right now. I know it is a little crooked but the cab in slanted backwards because I don't have the rear mounts on yet.
