i think i would measure under the cab from the frame to the rocker backing panels, and maybe even use a square off of the frame to make sure it is setting on the frame square and even from on side to the other. That might be as clear as mud , hopefuly i explained it right

Thanks a bunch guys! I want to get this thing going under it's own power so badly I can taste it, but patience will make a nicer truck in the end.
I just want to get it mobile and moving under it's own power, it would help me over come this massive urge to get it completed yesterday.

Yea you explained it correct. That's how I installed it but who knows I could have had to many adult beverages that day.

Anyways I am going to double check this weekend and see what I need to do. It just the thought of having to take everything loose again that has me filling a little sick to my stomach but it shouldn't take long at all if that is what's wrong.
Thanks for the input!

if you just back off the cab bolts and rad core sup bolts a little you should be able to shift the cab, without doing anything else, if that is the problem !

I really hope so. I think you should take a road trip to Ohio and lay some of those metal skills on to my truck! I could use a set of wheel wells like yours.

Well it is going a bit slow right now because I am working 6 10hr days along with a 2hr drive each way to work. I am re-building a ethanol plant that didn't run and we a completion date in March so my mistress time has been limited.

I did install my battery box in the bed and will have the fuel filler nozzle and vent tube installed this coming weekend. Oh I forgot that I put the sound proofing material in last weekend. I have some pics that I will try to remember to load when I get home tonight.

Anyways what is on the books- I am sending the truck to my buddy's in the next two weeks and he is wiring the truck for me since I am gone all the time. Once the truck is wired we are going to break in the 283 and tune it.

I am building my own removable AIRPOD that will mount in the bed while the truck is getting wired.......if time permits

Anyways sorry guys for the delay on pics but it's killing me more just seeing it sit in my garage and nothing getting done.

It's cold here also and I work outside so it makes it tough to come home and work in the cold garage. I broke down and bought a propane heater but I still have to crack the door to vent.

One day I will have a nice garage like some of the ones I have seen on here and I will make sure it has some heat.

I already told the neighbors that I am doing a victory burnout in the caldasac when I get it going. Drop the front on the crossmember and let fly for a bit. OPEN EXHAUST of course!
