Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
I am removing the cab from my 39 Pickup and see four bolts holding it to the frame on each side. The fore and aft bolts are extra long and have springs on them with cotter pins. The two inner bolts on each side have no springs. Makes no sense.The springs can't work if the inner bolts are fast to the frame. What gives? I am missing something here. thanks, john

Might have been apart at one time and that's how it got put back together.

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
Thats the way they were. Solid mount in the middle and springs fore and aft to allow for frame flex.

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
I agree with V12Bill. That's the way they are on the 35-36 PU as well.

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
34 is also the same, this is not a good picture but you can see the spring & bolt & the mess I started with.

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
Amazing. On my truck, the springs and nuts are underneath the frame. Cab must have been removed at one point. Also, on your truck 31 Chevy, the horn is on the engine. I have no idea where my horn is supposed to be. I think it goes on the front crossmember.

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
Correct about horn mounting.Front crossmember so it sounds out behind lower grill area.Saw a '38 last summer with proper horn and mount(I think).Good luck on finding that combo!

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
I just replaced the wood and the bolts on my 41. Springs go under the frame on your pickup. On mine there was also some impregnated rubber shims between the wood and the frame. Nacewicz has the new bolt kit. The springs compensate for the frame twist.

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
Ah, Tie rod end springs. I have plenty of them. They mount below the frame? I don't understand how that functions.

Re: Cab to Frame Bolts 39 Pickup
I used a valve spring on one of mine that had come loose and fallen off.
