Front Spring Hanger/Cab Mount????

[prairie]

Have a '77 K30 frame, and on the drivers side front the holes are wallowed out on the spring hanger, and the cab mount is cracked.
Are these parts the same for K10, K20, K30??
I can probably get them off a K20 or K15 at a local scrap/salvage yard.

AfAik, they are the same for 10, 20 and 30's of the same year span. The differences should come I. When the body bushings changed in *i think* '81.

You might also consider the B52 brackets sold by Diy4x for added adjustability.

Thought about the B52 brackets, but they are $178.50 plus freight. I can probably get the scrap yards ones for $10-$15, but we would have to torch off that section of the frame, and knock the rivets out back at my shop.
Will maybe give Kurt a call though and check the B52 out.

I'm not sure if a 30 series cab mounts are the same as 10 & 20 series,the 1 ton frames are taller,but might use the same mounts anyway..

We removed many cab mounts and spring hangers at the junkyard using just a 3 lb. sledge and a cold chisel (to avoid burning the place down in dry summer weather,when using the torches was taboo!)--after awhile we found a all steel camping hatchet in a junk cars truck,and my co-worker decided to use that instead of the chisel one day,and found it worked slick..(with safety glasses or face shield of course)..
You put the blade against the rivet head,or between the frame and bracket where the rivet is,,and give it a few good whacks with the sledge..the rivets pop right off ,a lot easier than we thought they would,and the hatchet was safer to use than a chisel,less chance of hitting your hand!..

I called Kert @ http://diy4x.com/cart/index.php?route=product/product&path=24&product_id=120 , and now I'm seriously thinking about the B52. Don't need them now, as stock parts would work, but you never know down the road.
Damn you Nvrenuf!!! I would probably not have called him without your suggestion, and would have been satisfied with stock parts.
