What are your tips on tipping the cab upright like this? Did you put anything underneath it?

The trick is having a lot of help. Yes setting on some blocks.

What's the trick to tipping the cab back like that? Did you put blocks under the back wall?

Have you tried installing the inner fenders to the fender while it is not mounted to the truck, and then install the fenders to the truck, then the core support last? I think that might work.

No I didn't try that because they were not even close. They were just way too long. Good thought, but there was no way they were going to fit. I'm pretty sure the OL length measurement was just flat out wrong.

No trick really. Just a few people and yes tipped up on blocks.
