Other then rebuilding the cab mount and surrounding area NO or you could start looking for a donor cab . No magic pill here . Like me i have frame issues with my 95 and have not had free time to do the repairs . But what ever you do it will cost far less then a new Dodge / Ram what ever will cost . Last one i looked at was a left over 17 model and there were 54728 and change reasons why i did not jump on it . And that did not include interest or sales taxes.

I agree, find a donor cab from south, or truck from there.

One of my friends at the AAA place told me about his buddy who owns a contract business. His work truck is a Ford F-350 long bed club cab King Ranch loaded with the Diesel engine. Something like a cool 93K. That is a small house on a set of wheels.

Time to remove the Cummins from its shipping crate and find another truck to put it in.

Ya shouda got a Ford with the 6.0. You would have had the cab off 3 times by now to work on the motor.

On my Ford wood hauling special I raised the cab up so the doors worked and support the cab from the upper cowl vertically down to the frame. This is easy on my Ford as it has a nice pinch weld with a lip. Not sure how your Dodge is made in cowl area so might not be as easy as Ford.

When I did my Dodge over 4 years ago those weren't available.I had a bad frame,so I found a good one and stripped the truck to replace it.The nice frame I found was from an extra cab,but mine was a regular,so I had to cut a foot out of the middle and reposition the rear cab hangers on the frame.I stripped all the riveted hangers,and any riveted crossmembers.I blasted and treated everything before I put it back together.My cab mounts were bad,and I was going to fix them before remounting the cab.But,I found a better cab that just needed rockers.If I could have bought those cab mounts back then I probably would have fixed it.One good thing about the Dodge compared to other makes,is that the cabs are all made alike.Gas,diesel,instead of making a different cab to clear different engines and transmissions they just make bigger mounting pads.The wiring harnesses look like a nightmare,but they are all plug in,and you just can't put them in wrong.It took me about three weeks,but that same Cummins powered truck with the aluminum flatbed and plow was $64,500 My father said that is the most money you'll ever make in three weeks.
