I have too many to recall but here are three.

We put the engine, clutch and transmission together trying to save time to find that it could not be put in the truck that way since the transmission is a granny low 4 speed.

We were in a hurry to get a newer year bed on my '67 so instead of taking the time to align it properly and bolt it we aligned it and welded the bed to the frame. A few days later I realized I need to replace both cab corners, oops!!

Installing a 3/4 ton cab on a 1/2 ton frame and using the rear 3/4 ton cab bushings, which makes the front fenders alignment impossible.

I am sure given the time I could remember more, though.
