30yearoldjunk Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My 77 DM has a pair of bolts on each side of the rear glass. These look like they were put there to hang accessories, like worklights or maybe a screen to keep me from knocking out my back glass, teeth, or head. Is this what those are for? If I take the bolts out does anything slide down on the inside never to be retrieved again? Does a big spring fly out never to be seen again?

umodelnut Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Are they Smaller bolts? They were there to hang air hoses for your trailer, if we are talking about the same ones. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29258-siimple-question-bolts-on-backside-of-dm-cab/#findComment-155964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I believe those bolts are there for glad hand holders.. I took them out when I painted my DM, then put some new grade 8 bolts back in the hole. I think it's a nut welded to the inside of the cab. 1 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29258-siimple-question-bolts-on-backside-of-dm-cab/#findComment-155965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 should be well nuts the bolts screw into they will stay, soak em in penetrating oil for a day before you take me out, if they are up in the center of the rear window on each side they are for a window screen, lots of the roll off trucks here have them, if they are lower and only on the left side its for glad hands, if its lower on each side say about 12" up the cab wall its for the lower exhaust mount on an R not sure on a DM. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29258-siimple-question-bolts-on-backside-of-dm-cab/#findComment-155981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtressmer Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The passenger side is for the exhaust stack that had a plate with a rubber belt for isolation and driver side is for accessories. There are nuts welded to inside- we hang work lights on them- Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29258-siimple-question-bolts-on-backside-of-dm-cab/#findComment-157774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
