rusted cab mounts how to fix

My cab mounts are starting to rust out. I would like to fix them,any ideas would be great. if posted in wrong area my bad but I still need help

Find a donor cab with good mounts. I cut the mounts, floors, inner and outer rockerpanels out of a reg cab in 1 piece and welded them back into a club cab. The floors were the same from the seat mounts forward. The only difference was the trans hump. The 2wheel auto trucks have a smaller hump.

Rich, the right side is off a little bit. I think you should cut it out and adjust it to where it should be.

Dieseljack, if you have most of the mount left, you can cut it out and make one, or have it made.
I bought a donor cab and swapped the whole mess. Too much like work!

I know Pete. I was surprised at how close they were though.

The easyiest solution is to find a cab that is bolt on and go complete with the correct wires. I had the cab and there was no way I would find a good extended cab's cab up here in rust world. I figure my time is free. ( I know its not ).

Thanks I think I'm going build my own. Most of the donors I find are worse than mine. Frankenstien could learn from you guys. Jack
