For starters the bolts, springs and wood blocks were in the wrong location. I moved them forward and the front cab dropped by 1/2”. That helped some…but still have a fit/ alignment height issue.
Will come at it with fresh eye’s tomorrow or the next day.
Thank you, Bouymaker.
Next day update - A fresh look helps. Two wooden blocks for the front bolts/springs DO NOT go between the cab and the upper frame/chassis rail. The wooden blocks just serve as spacers - that go on top of the cab subfloor...not sandwiched below the cab and upper frame rail - just a piece of rubber is placed there - between the cab and the frame.
Removing the blocks lowered the cab to the desired height and all bolt holes align to the rdiator support and the inner fenders. None of the diagrams I have show this very well; yet, one diagram shows the wooden blocks incorrectly installed between the cab and the frame (that i used as my reference).
Problem solved - check that off the list.
