Popular Post h67st Posted January 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2020 The holes in the front spring hangers for the cab mount bar were pretty wallowed out (aluminum hangers). I found some brass bushings and had the machine shop bore the holes and press the bushings in. Worked out pretty well, total cost around $100. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60556-cab-mount-bushings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I like seeing the ways guys overcome issues with these old trucks as much as the truck itself 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60556-cab-mount-bushings/#findComment-440379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Nice job!

My resto experience gives me idea to prevent any potential rust since it can easily show up even before a project is finished 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/60556-cab-mount-bushings/#findComment-440507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather prep, prime or paint and scuff later for finish work rather than clean up rust/corrosion a second time to move forward again. 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
