Is my cab gonna seperate???

I got all of my new sheet metal yesterday and decided to drill out the old rocker and peel it off first so i did that and cut out the old inner rocker and then i got to looking and i wished i would have done the floor pan first. So if i cut out the front floor pan on the drivers side with the rocker and inner rocker being out is my cab gonna seperate on me or will i be fine??? I noticed there is a support running longways under the floor so i think that would hold everything together but i figured i'd ask. THANKS

Re: Is my cab gonna seperate???

Is your cab still bolted to the frame? If it is still on the frame you should be fine just re hang your door before welding the inner/rocker back in to check fit. If the cab is off the frame than I would make sire it is level and square before you start cutting and welding so not to have it tweeked when you put it back together. This is why I designed the cab dolly to factory mounting spec's so you can do all this with out worries of it being tweeked. Atleast tack weld a brace accross the door opening as low as you can to help keep everything in place. Take lots of measurements and double check them before welding.
