Re: SGTUSMC '59 build

Last night I decided to test fit the cab on the new frame. Seems to fit fine (it's not level, rear of cab is sitting on the factory cab mount). I have to cut the factory mounts off the new frame for a better fit. It looks like it's going to be an easy swap. I'm planning on using the 59 cab mounts on the new frame weld/bolt them on. I have to shorten the rear about 17" or so. My plans are to move the rear end forward (including leaf springs) and weld in a notch. Then cut off the rear rails once I find out where the bed will end.
