After getting things squared up I was ready to drop the cab back on to the mounts however they looked really grungy, there was a lot of rust stuck on them. I checked the 89 mounts and they looked much better and are the same size as the 68 mounts so I used them instead. The bolts for the rear mounts had suffered some rust over the years so I cleaned them up and hit them with a coat of rust reformer paint before reinstalling them. With everything lined up and the bolts ready I lowered the front corner back down on the mount, lifted the back off of the pipe and inserted the mounts and bolted it down.

This was a lot of pictures and dialog describing this process, however the whole thing probably was done in less than 45 minutes. For once something went as quickly as it should. I was convinced that I was on a roll. I was wrong...

More tomorrow.
