Question of angles

I am about to start my chassis swap and since my original frame has already been modified both front and rear I have a few questions.
  • If I level the frame will the cab be level?
  • If the frame is level, do the cab and core support sit at 90 deg angles to the frame?
  • If I level the frame, will the bed sit level?

The reason I ask, is so that when I put the body on the new chassis, it looks right. It also will give me a starting point since I can measure the frame to cab distance vs the core support and from there figure out about how tall my new cab mounts should be.

Since I'm going to have to create, from scratch, the core support, I can build one based on some dimensions found on this forum, and mount it correctly so as to get my cowl, cab, hood angle close from the start.

Thanks for the help with what is probably common knowledge around here.
