Re: Cab adjusting

Are you talking about adjusting the cab itself? Or the rest of the body panels?



If body panels, the order I went in was:

1. Doors. Make the body lines match the cab front and rear, and get the gaps as even as possible. Also get the flushness as close as possible. If the doors aren't right the fenders won't be right either.

2. Inner fenders and radiator support. Leave these loose. You'll need to be able to shim under the rad support when you install/adjust the fenders.

3. Fenders and grill shell. Make the top of the fenders level with the body line in the doors. You'll do this by shimming the rad support up or down. Tighten down the inner fender bolts now.

4. Cowl and fender extensions.

5. Hood.
