Re: 1968 C40 to K40 pickup project BlueMule
First I put in a lot of support in the cab to keep its shape, but I left space between front and back sections so that I can separate them. I used all-thread at all 4 corners with locknuts on both ends to control movement. I placed the brackets exactly 2" apart and welded them to the body in order to ensure when I moved the sections apart that I was moving them evenly, and I could fix it in place with the lock nuts when I was in correct position. I made my cut on the roof thru both panels about 3 inches in front of center. I then trimmed the outer panel back 3 inches to center, leaving the inner panel cut out in the open, On the donor roof, I left it long so I could patch in wherever I needed to. The floor was cut just in front of the seat mounts. Its pretty flat there, so I can use flat sheet metal where donor pieces are rusty.
