Yeah Nick, your not crazy, I hacked them up. Bobinbc is right, it's just mock up. I was hoping to use that stock rear cab mount that's why I never cut it off. I'm going to cut it off soon and build a new mount.

I'm very impressed by the PO's body work. He/they riveted strips of aluminum over rusted out areas. Then drilled a bunch of holes around the area being worked on. Forced bondo into the new "patch" areas so that the bondo would mushroom into the holes and be able to withstand a 50 mph side impact. They reinforced the cab corners with window screen and bondo, freaken awsome work...hahaha
