Cab Latch / Latching plate

[j_boucher]

So I'm curious if there needs to be some sort of bushing between the mounting plate for the latch and the cab mount ? Mine has some play in there but the bolt is tight and I didn't know if its normal

There is definitely a rubber bushing in that spot. It probably eroded, as it did on my 1998 M1078. When I was looking, I could not find the OEM part, so I replaced it with multiple heavy duty large rubber fender washers. The swap seems to have worked out fine as they have been on the truck for several years now.

I had to find a suitable replacement and cut a thick washer from a horse stall mat.
