I can’t say that I did not seek the treasure😳. I got the new rocker in position front & rear. I did some welding front & rear to hold it as well as the front which did hold the cab up when I released the Jack. The Jack used a 2x4 positioned on the upper door in the cab. Thus I could not close the door for the weeks working on it.
I positioned / leveled the cab R side by measuring the driver distance side rear cab to (there is a diagonal line below the rear window) top of the front bed.
Initially the Passenger side was about 1.5 inches lower than the driver side.
So I got both sides equal distance. After tacking in place and removing the Jack, it remained almost the same (11 1/4 “).
That brings me to closing the door (I overhauled the door hinges last year. The doors work great.
I’m watching one of my favorite shows while I’m writing) Roadworthy Rescues with Derek Bieri. Funny Spence of humor😎.he sure makes it look like fun!
See pictures show what the striker plate is doing.
Thinking I might just grind that plate down a little. ??
