I'm getting ready to bolt my cab down, and I was wondering the best way of lining the cab up onto the frame.

Thanks

I am going to bolt the box down since it is not adjustable. Then my plan is to make sure the gap between box and cab is the same and that the sidelines are the same on both sides. Meaning the cab does not set to far left or right with the line of the box. I think if you leave the bottom rubbers off the 4 mounts and eyeball the cab bolts to center of the frame mount holes that that will be really close.

Thanks for the idea, I am finishing working on the bed (weather permitting) the whole driver side of the bed was caved in, and was beat back out with a ball peen hammer. So my dad and I had to shrink the metal. Now the side of the bed is roughed in, and painted in epoxy, so it will be no problem placing the bed on the frame to align the cab.

I would leave all bolts loose until your happy with the fit then tighten evenly . Tom

Leave loose until you have front sheet metal on and align all at once.

Thanks, I will just wait until I put the whole front clip on, to align the cab on the frame.
