ok now just for the heck of it i got my frame tabs from the guy who bought the chassis i had layin here. that was the 81 chassis with the 85 cab on it and after laying these 81 tabs on the 76 chassis i have on the truck im rebuilding right up next to the existing 76 tabs, it looks like it will fit . the rivets seem to be in the same place and the mounting tabs are the same size so now friday ( if i can move after this thanksgivng thing) we are going to drop the existing body off of the 76 truck and see what we can do to place the 81 tabs on and again we will use the body mounts on the front cab then for the 81-87 chassis and the 73-80 mounts on the rear part of the chassis to the back end of the cab
