Need new cab mount, 2 questions?

[CTaylor]

On my latest truck rescue a 89 D250 while installing new exhaust a buddy of mine noticed the rear cab mount on the passenger side was gone as pictured like it broke off. This truck doesn’t have any rust and I have no idea how this could have happened. Any sources for new mounts and how would I attach it as it seems the ones on it from the factory are riveted on?

There will be welding involved in this repair.

Welding will not be needed.A visit to a salvage yard to recycle a factory bracket and buy some bolts -all will good again

Yep, easiest way is source one from a salvage yard, torch the rivets out and bolt the complete one in place.

Cutoff wheel and air chisel the rivets out

Yup cut a + with a cut off wheel on a die grinder then the 4 pieces will chisel off easily
