Frame & drivetrain all pretty much done, now I'm approaching all the body work.
Mounted the bare cab on new mounts from LMC, mounted the front rad cradle on it's new mounts, installed the doors, and now the fender... herein lies the issue.
The top gap of door-to-fender is tight, yet the bottom gap is like 3/8"...so: a) lower the cradle, but that bugger ups the hood fitting later. b) lower the back of the cab, but those mounts are tightened, and the steel insert of the rubber mounts have bottomed out and the upper half of the rear cab mount is compressed to 2 7/8", similar to another truck of it's age that i measured... so c): do i then shim up the front cab mounts to get my alignment?
