Swapping 77 2wd Longbed cab and front clip to 84 4wd short bed frame. 84 frame is stripped down ready for paint. I am having trouble determining which cab mounts I need. Do I order for 77 or 84?
LMC catalog shows 73-80 or 81-87 cab mounts, called them up to get their input and the woman I talked to told me "were not mechanics you need to ask your local mechanic." I cut the transmission tunnel out of 84 cab already and I'll bolt it in the 77 cab later. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, these forums have been a lifesaver already.

Nope use the ones that match the frame. Thats where the difference is, the shape of the hole in the frame mount is different between 73-80 and 81+
