I'm thinking if someone with a V8 in a stock frame can give you the measurement of the front surface of the block next to the timing cover and the vertical centerline height of the crank in the frame and how high it sits in relation to the top of the frame rails life is good.

Hahaha I knew I had asked that before and I honestly searched for everything but my name. And ya I was waaay ahead of myself there, and life slowed me up.

here is a video of a guy setting up the panels and gaps on a task force. he mentions the driver's side cab mount as the pivot and how the cab can be moved around to get the hood or fender to door gaps symmetrical on both sides. he explains a lot and it makes sense if you think of it logically, like lining up a pile of shoe boxes to get even gaps. it is a little bit long but maybe worth the time if you're at that point or doing some major cab work.
it's called:
