The two front cab bolts on my cab were tack welded down before I tore it all apart. I've been working on rust repair and been pondering whether to tack the new ones down when I get to putting it all back together.

The advantage I see of tack welding them in is that you can loosen the nut from the bottom to shim as needed once sound deadener and carpet are installed in the cab. Am I thinking about this wrong?
