For some reason, the right front cab mount on my '85 C/10 rusted through.

I cut out the rusted area, made a patch and tacked it in.

Re: Fixing rusted out cab mount

Thanks, it was easier for me to repair it than to cut one off another frame and replace mine with it. This job was 30 minutes start to finish and cost nothing.
