Hoping is not a good thing with gaps, fitting doors before final weld of floor is what I would recommend. If you can change bracing to fit doors, now is the time. I only had two braces, back wall of cab to the firewall, and that kept it in place while I massaged the floor in place, gaps ARE critical
