took the crew cab bracket's only mounts off the frame today for the rear cab mount's .

swapped in the std cab frame crossmember style unit . dead blow 4lb hammer popped it from the old frame and in place in this frame . punched my holes to 7/16" and used more smooth shank bolts and washers and crimped locknut's to secure it down for good .

someone was lazy the day the truck was built in the frame department . i found what was left of a part's tag made of paper between the frame rail . it basically fell apart as i looked at it . had a metal crimp washer in it that tie wire goes threw when attached to parts .
