Howdy boys, I just put the cab on the '32 BB I've been working on for WAY too long, but I have forgotten where the bolts with the coil springs go? Yup, I took lots of pictures but not of this of course. Any help would be appreciated! Pictures of course, would be nice! Thanks guys!
 
They are too long for the tank. There was only one bolt on the tank with a coil spring, 3/8" if I remember correctly. The ones I have, that I believe came off of the cab, since they were in the can marked "cab bolts" are 7/16", have a washer, coil spring, and castle nut. The bolts are about 3.5-4" long.
 
Cool 33, so how do they mount? They are 7/16 bolts, but the holes are 3/8. Pictures would tell the story. Thanks.
 
totto, so now I'm curious. There was only one bolt on the tank that had a spring. The other two did not. Are they all supposed to have a coil spring? Thanks.
 
No, just one in the center hole on one side and two 3/8"-24 hex head bolts without springs on the opposite side.
 
I looked at my original 33 BB and they go thru from inside the cab and the spring, washer and nut go underneath in the frame. Mine look to be 3/8 where the nut goes on but can't see the whole length. If it were mine and they go thru the frame holes ok, I would just enlarge the holes in the cab floor.
 
Hey David G, this truck, which is an AAB does have the coil springs on the rear cab bolts. They are 7/16", about 3.5" long. Sugarmaker sent me some pictures of his, which is also an AAB. Thanks.
 
Folks,
I took these pictures of the cab mounts on our AAB 32 truck.
in the rear there is the spring and nut on the bottom of the frame as Cool 33 describes.

But on the front of the cab there is no spring
