new guy here. mostly just read here but, your last post beckoned me, so to speak - so i speak now.

where your at on your build - im more or less in the same spot.

fwiw, I grew tired of cab work also (including cowls, kick panels, floor, cab corners, etc) and went back to my frame also. can be overwhelming.

however, i really could only go so far w/ the frame cuz, im using all aftermarket suspension, powertrain and all that jazz too. you need, (or i need) the cab done w/ the outer cowls done to mock up a fender so ill know for certain where the wheel is centered in the fender. then i can mock up whats left of a bedside to make sure where my rear wheel will be centered also. plus getting the cab done will help me visualize ride height and stance for welding in the suspension permanent with respect to crossmember angle and then later rear end pinion angle too. which relates to my ls motor angle and thus tailshaft angle also... everything ties together

i think i know precisely what your going through. you can probably get some stuff done on the frame but i thought id just let you know my perspective about the cab.

like the other guy said, i use a lot of lists to organize my thoughts or the process and attempt to follow an order of steps or a plan of sort.

btw, i had bought another parts truck that had the same problem w/ the cowls from apparently the door opening to far also. weird

good luck
