This describes the saga of trying to find cab mounts for a 42-47 Ford Pickup. Some say the 40-41 mounts that can be purchased may fit, others say they are completely different. With my luck, they would have been completely different. Besides, if they fit, the guys who know and sell these parts would have included those years.

I had the two front and one of the rear mounts from when we pulled the cab. I started asking around and surfing for answers about the middle mounts. When I came up dry, I was at the point of lifting the cab off of the sawhorses and suspending it so I could roll the chassis back under it. To my surprise, I found that the front-to-back pieces of support wood had actually been covering the other rear mount and the two middle mounts.

One of the folks that I have been talking to was in the same boat as me, so when I measured and cut new oak mounts for myself, I made him a set out of pine, so he could have the correct dimensions. The following pictures shows the original mounts. The front ones had their backs rotted off and should have actually been about 1.5" longer.
