Need advice on raising 67 C10 cab 3/4" or so...
Put a 67 cab on my 68 frame and bolted down the original 68 bed. The Cab (after I installed new poly bushings) sits about 3/4-1" too low according to my belt lines. I am trying to line up my new moldings.
Can anyone give me some good advice. Want it to be right on if possible. Can I simply raise it with grade 8 washers and longer grade 8 bolts? Once I get it the same height I'll run a straight tape line off the end of both wheel radiused molding and I should be good, right? Thanks for any help. Tom

Re: some photos
Photos showing my seatrs (BMW 3 series leather) and LMC repro consol. My fab guy cut down an overhead console that I will have covered in matching material.
You can see my fitment problems. I don't know about you guys but Goodmarks better quality panels/hood has left a LOT to be desired. I bought new better quality hood, both fends and doors...spent a bunch, just to have to pay my fab guy many hundreds of dollars to get the seams acceptable. I know I am picky...but when you don't buy the cheap stuff it should go smoother than it has for me. Good luck with your builds/trucks. Tom

I went with 3/4" stack of 3" diameter grade 8 washers to get my lift...then four grade 8 6" long bolts Way better now...on to other fitment issues. Tom
