Need advice on raising 67 C10 cab 3/4" or so... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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
