I got a replacment cab that did not have a dash in it ,but came with a good uncut dash from a junkyard. The dash was removed due to radio area being cut up.I cleaned up the area where the spot welds are with a grinder on both the dash and cab and then treated with a rust converter. I put the dash in and put all four bolts in snug and then lined up the pinch weld area where the window rubber will be. Then when it looked good I put a lot of
clamps/vice grips on it and started welding through the holes in the dash where the spot welds were. Just make sure the two flanges are good and tight no gap between them. Mine turned out nice. I did not think to take pictures while I was working on it ,but I could send you some after pics as I have not painted it yet.I did not have to take the dash out,but I think going back in would be easier than taking the old one out.
