The cab is square on the frame, but that really wouldn't matter with door gaps within the cab structure, heck, the cab could be sitting on the floor and you still could align the panels together.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Had a little problem today trying to locate my trans cooler lines. Seems I forgot them. Would have been a good thing to install while the cab was off the frame, don't ya think??? DOH!!!!
I snaked them in there under the engine, but there was no way I was going to connect them into the trans from underneath. Lucky for me I have a high hump.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I also played with my spaghetti dinner and got rid of a ton of the 2002 front harness. Right is keep pile, left is trash.

Checked the fit of my grille and knew ya'll would want something interesting to look at for a whole Saturdays worth of work.

You know, Drew...at the rate that you are going on this build, I sure hope you have another project lined up for the near future. You were destined to build trucks. Keep the inspiration flowing.

Sorry to disappoint but no more trucks on the horizon. When I'm feeling up to it, another project it might be a 69 Camaro or a 65 Corvette. I figured I needed a tow vehicle first, and then the real restoration car project could begin.

Not a disappointment here. Just put the build thread on the alternate tinkerings area and all your stalkers will follow. I'd like to build either car you mentioned. I'd rather have a mid year vette, but they'd need to reproduce a body so I can afford one. Great work as usual Drew.
