I found to broken cab-chassis mounts. So I was being held on by four. Can any one explain to me how they work like for example: Is it a Bolt going through a washer, chassis, rubber bushing, cab, washer nut?

If someone could break it down for me so I can try and think something up to replace it.

Well I'll break it down since I've already taken it all apart :)

Bolt (a big washer built in)
Rubber bushing
Chassis
Metal cup facing down ( think of a glass cup upside down )
Rubber bushing
A big Washer
Bolt

There's four like that hold cab to chassis, you can find them on inside of cab. Then there's two that hold the front inner fenders to the chassis, which are basically the same, but are smaller with thinner rubber.

I'll post pictures as soon as my camera is working. And I'll post my replacement/solution to them too.
