Cab Bracing

I have done some searches and found some good info on how to brace my cab before I start rust repairs.

Right now my cab is off the frame and sandblasted sitting on a dolly covered up in my driveway. I should have my frame rolling again this week and then I was going to use new cab mounts to secure the cab back on the frame.

Next, I plan on buying new door hinges and hardware, mount the doors and front fenders, adjust the gaps and then brace the cab. Does this sound correct?

I haven't looked at my Factory Assembly Manual about this but are there measurements for the cab like door to door, pillar to pillar, etc? I want to make sure the cab is nice and square before I start adjusting gaps and bracing.
