Spent more time running to the hardware store and Harbor Freight than I did working on the truck. The cab is back on and gives me more space to work.
This is about the resurrection of a 1967 Ford F100 Short Bed that was given to me in 1983 as a Christmas gift for my first car. In November of 1992 it was parked at my mom's house in Fort Stockton, TX. 20 years later in November 2012, I started to bring it back to life. This is the story...

We don't need no stinkin' cab mounts!
Cause we built our own! I made a trip to the scrap yard this morning and hunted down some stainless steel. Using some eight inch plate and a handle off the side of a semi truck, I was able to put together some handy cab mounts that won't rust. Good thing too! They don't make these any more and the stupid bolt kit cost $100 dollars with crappy rubber bushings. I bought some Prothane Motion Control body mounts from Summit Racing for $46, bought $6 dollars worth of scrap stainless and $10 worth of bolts.
