Cab Support Channel

Is this a peice of steel that attactes to the inner fender and runs past the cab bushings, I cant seem to find a picture of it anywhere

There are no cab supports that attach to any part of the inner fenders. In fact, the inner fenders do not attach to the cab at all on my truck. They only attach to the fender.

The front cab supports attach to the inner rocker panel, part #9 here:

And FWIW, the inner fenders do have 1 bolt with a large washer that attaches to the cab. May be different after 1980-ish, not sure though.

I think I know what you're talking about now, it runs parallel with the frame, and the inboard end of the part I showed attaches to it. The rubber mount is also very close to it. I dont think that is going to be an aftermarket part you can buy, more than likely something you'll have to fabricate yourself.

He's talking about that C-channel shaped piece, aint he? I never saw a replacement fix piece for that.

Sounds like you need to be fabricated...

Ahhhhh OK, I think I know what he's talking about now. And that is common to rust out. The guy I sold my pefect cab to for $50, said he went and looked at 5 or 6 cabs that were perfect and everyone of them had that part rusted out of them that the people weren't even aware of it since they were mounted on the frame, but he knew where to look and didn't buy any of them. But he bought mine. I wish I didn't need to get rid of it so bad or I could have sat on it and got mo money out of it. I was even willing to give the clear title the cab but he didn't need it he said. I didn't care much, I have already made an assload of cash on that truck and glad someone was putting it all to good use. Sold the frame to a guy that was taking the whole front end of the frame off for a 70-72 disk brake conversion.

What is the chance of finding someone on this forum whos got one?

 

[89Suburban]

This piece right buddy????

 

[marks86]

I honestly cant tell, does it run under the floor, and connect to the inner fender up front if so than thats it, what should I call that?

 

[89Suburban]

Yes. I'll go take a better pic. Did you click on the pic to make it bigger? I think also the seat bolts go through that piece too.
