Well had to play the measuring and more measuring game today to get the rear cab mounts in place, then made the inner cab plate for the bolts to not pulI through the floor. I started by securing the body mounts to the frame and measuring multiple times. I somehow missed my measurements on the cab and had to drill new ones (Ugg).

The cab braces that came from overseas needed trimming as the cab is a 47-49. 1st series and the bead rolls in the floor were in the way, no big deal. After getting everything to bolt up and rechecking the measurements it was correct! I then spot welded the braces and removed the bar mount from the EZ swap kit to finish the spot welds and spray with primer. When that dried I slathered on the rust encapsulator. Now I need to wait for it to cure for 48 hours. We are leaving town tomorrow for the weekend so that will work just fine.

Still have the cab corners left to do then I can put the welder up finally.
