Thanks gents for the replies. I should have been a bit more detailed in my post. I'm not referring to cab/body to frame mounting, (I'm clear on that process) I'm more concerned about aligning body panels with each other...doors, fenders, hoods...etc. Keeping the gaps evenly spaced. There were no shims in these locations upon tear down. I was curious if they are used in order to keep even spacing throughout the body sections during reconstruction. And if so, what thickness/gap is the "rule of thumb" for these trucks.

Thank You
