65 f100 cab mount off my truck!

[Harper]

Here is one of the cab mounts off my 65 F100 slick. The question i have is this. I was told by a "vendor" that you can buy a mount kit from them but that the "nut shown" does not come with a new cab mount kit, that I would have to use my existing "nuts" on the new kit bolts, etc...
seriously? mines rusted up like a WWII battleship sitting at pearl harbor!!! does anyone know if there is a "vendor" out there that supplies the whole kit for my 65 including the special NUT with the built on washer?
here is a picture!
thanks

Um, that doesn't look like anything I have seen on a '65 or '66 - at least, for 2WD trucks.
The '65/'66 2WD front mount is 2 rubber pieces with a bolt, nut and 2 large washers.
The rear is the same, except that the fuel tank support plate is underneath the head of the bolt inside the cab. It has a plain hole, no threads.
No special washers or nuts - just off the shelf.
Same setup for the core support too.

John, we [samdog1966 and myself ] replaced his last year '66 F100 2wd front and rears same as the one pictured, except the 'nut' was still bonded to the rubber part and you could still read the Ford part number. The replacements worked but do not look anything like the originals
I don't know remember where he bought them, they may have come with the truck.

I buy that as something the factory would have used, looks similar to a blind nut used on my '67 Galaxie body mounts. None of mine were usable either by the way. I also doubt they are reproduced. The body mount kit I bought most recently came with bolts and lock nuts. I assembled them with bolts down and lock nut on the bottom, although your picture suggests that is backwards?

If you buy it from a TRUE VENDOR,,,, Then they should know it comes as a complete ready to bolt on kit,,, BUT NOT LIKE THE ORIGINAL,, I have seen some cabs with those in picture and some with nuts and bolts

[Harper]

the picture is upside down...i turned it that way as i was just trying to get an accurate picture to show the special nut. The ones on my core support were the same with the exception of they were rusted nearly completely all to pieces...
this one is from the rear of the cab/in the frame mount by the fuel tank.

maybe i am confused, it was like 2 o'clcok in the am when i disasembled it lol

that looks like a 67-72 type truck mount with the metal washer/nut combination.

[Harper]

i did see a 67-72 mount simular to this however it had a nut on the bottem of the metal washer deal instead of on the inside. hey i dont care what it looks like at this point, but i mean I can buy a Regular bolt/nut/washer at a fastner store if i just wanted to bolt it down....I thought i was doing the purest a justice by trying to buy reproduction parts....
evidently there is no such animal as a stock repo body mount kit! which by the way is ashame in my book.

i just wiped off some red alabama dirt from this rubber part and it says

I have had a few trucks with the "nut/washer"
they are more of a pain than they are worth,
the nut & washer are also correct -
doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to what years had which (plant differences?)
I made my own "kit" for the 64 because I wanted to use stainless hardware.
