Looks more like a truck now - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This was my truck until last night. I hung the inner fenders and fenders on it last long, with the radiator support. Man, my cab is completely out of square with the frame. my fenders gaps are screwed up and I hate the front tire gap. I don't have the motor or tanny in it so its sittin way up in the air. New inspiration to get my tranny rebuilt soon. Last time my truck sit up like that I cut the coils in half.

Anyway, any one got any tips for squaring up the cab??

Not to change the subject but sweet working conditions - as for the truck I'm not an expert but I'd start with the cab and work my way out to the front - got it looking good.

thanks for the comments, my dad's got a 2,000 square foot shop, 4 bays one of them is a paint booth. We use to run a Body shop out of it, we also use to detail cars for a few car lots and we also buy and sell cars, then add in 3 67-72 trucks being completely re-done, space gets small quick. I'm trying to talk my dad into adding on to the back of the shop and leaving an open ceiling so we could get a lift! He's also talked a few tiems about putting in an A/C unit. I've never heard of a shop having A/C before. But it would be sweet!
