Good point Steve, that is true. Once you access the other side, do you have any tricks for getting the bolt out from that side? I assumed I'd have more room and options from the outside than from inside the cab. I worried after all the work of pulling the bench seat and carpet etc, I'd be left with even less room to weld on a nut or something to get enough purchase on the exposed bolt to get it out. I'm sure others who find this video would appreciate any tips you have for getting the bolts out from the inside.

Cut de weld on the nut and weld another nut at the same place

That's why I came to the comments sections I was looking for that second washer deal because the whole cab just lift right up off of the frame

@@juanmarshall4083 Well I'm glad that I was helpful to at least one person. Cheers

I welded the washer to the frame

@@kevinbergen4309 where did yall find these washers at I've looked all over except ordering on line I've tried home depot Lowes ace hardware no one has this big of washers I was thinking maybe tractor supply or something ?

@@joegirton2178 there's a nut and bolt supply place in my town. The hole in the center of the washer was approximately 2" and the outside was bigger than the amount of rust I had on my frame mount. It was about $20 for 4 of those washers but I only had to repair the cab mounts closest to the box.

samee, someone please comment

Hey Scott, this is a good point. With this type of repair, while new condition bushings are stiffer and may provide some additional resistance of pulling up through the bracket, technically nothing is preventing it from happening. However anyone with this problem is driving around now with nothing preventing this either. This repair only restores cab hight/alignment, it DOES NOT repair frame brackets to OEM condition. If someone is looking to restore frame brackets to OEM functionality, they should of course weld the washer to the frame bracket. Anyone expecting to use their truck in a way that will result in forces trying to pull the cab off the frame should absolutely do that.

@@big6ft625 I was wondering if I could use two washers one on top and bottom of the bracket? Do you think that would work or maybe not enough room.

@Phillip Aurthur yes, it's worth a shot. I can't recall if there is any reason. A washer wouldn't fit on the bottom too. Should be enough room (threads) on the bolt I'd think.

@@big6ft625 Thank you for replying and I just got your message. Oh and do you know how many cab mounts are on a regular cab?

a washer for a 1 and 7/8" bolt, If I remember correctly it has a 2" diameter hole in the middle. I had to go to my local commercial metal supply place, they won't have them at a hardware store. Look for a metal supply/fab shop that sells metal to businesses. Mine had these washers in stock they were like $2. I talk about it in this video kzfaq.info?search_query=5+minute+fix+chevy+cab+mount

I got them at a commercial metal supply house. They sell metal to business but are open to the public. Look up metal supply in the nearest big city. You won't find them at home depot or menards or hardware store. This place had a big bin of them in stock so they must be pretty common in construction and stuff.

Yeah, Zach it worked. I didn't crank it down quite as hard as other, but it never came out. Just sold the truck this summer and never had a problem. If I recall correctly I just used one of the existing side holes. The bolt ran at a slight angle but I was able thread a nut on no problem.

@@big6ft625 awsome thats what i was hoping to hear

LMC Truck (lmctruck.com), search their online catalog for cab and bed mounting hardware. They are on page 13 in the 88-98 chevy truck catalog.

I had to go to an industrial metal supply shop. The kind that sells big sheets of metal to business and has some fab shop area etc. This one is open to the public, as I assume most are but it doesn't have a normal store front. It was in an industrial park and if you drove by looks like an office attached to a warehouse, google metal supply in your area and look for industrial/business metal supply. You won't find those washers at the hardware store (As you've probably already figured out). I actually originally went to have them fab up 4 plates for me with 2" holes, and the shop guy said, "why don't you just by four of these washers, it would be cheaper" and he took me over to their warehouse and down an isle of boxes and reached in a box full of these things and pulled out four for me. I was like "cool!"

Can't find any in Cent il ...where is the one you found at ?

Grainger has them.

1-7/8" x 4.250" OD Low Carbon Plain Finish Steel USS General Purpose Flat Washer Fastenal Part No. (SKU) 33035 Works like a champ! Great tip!

Is the hole left behind small enough to still use a toggle bolt?

The mount and bushings everything flew out onto the Interstate I knew I ran over something not tell the driveshaft was rubbing did I discover what had happened. I think that will work just have to make or buy new plates and rubber. Dealer says 100 plus each for assembly there is 6 total. I am brainstorming a way to just fab all new mounting system for the cab using large washers and stacked slices of tires as the rubber bushings. The truck may just be a total loss of my $1500. Oh well it got me to work a handful of times. pulling truck or a Farm Sleeper Drag Race Truck balls out?

Check out rockauto.com, they have full sets for under $100. Not sure if this link will work, but I'll try to paste it here. www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/chevrolet,1993,k1500+pickup,5.7l+v8,1050961,body,body+mount,673

Good idea John, that would've been worth a try for sure!! Thanks for sharing.

I guess I could be "the dude from Wisconsin" I am just outside of Madison. Good luck with your truck!

I've never found a supply. I've seen some youtube vids where some fabricate them from scratch, but I've never seen a place to buy the brackets.

@@big6ft625 I found a place but you think your method in the above video would allow me to replace all 4 bushings on a reg cab 92 silverado?

Cool, you should list where you found brackets for others. I think that is a common question. The bushings in your 92 should be the same bushings so anything in this video should apply to your truck from what I know, but I can't obviously promise anything without seeing your truck.

OEM hardware can be found at LMC Truck. If you want poly bushing instead of OEM rubber, I think I found aftermarket polyurethane bushing sets (no hardware) at Summit Racing? Or just google "Chevy C/K body bushing kit polyurethane" and see what comes up. Also check RockAuto.com, I seem to recall having a good bushing set, and maybe hardware? (I can't remember)
