We moved the frame over 6' with come alongs and rolled it outside the shop. We chain falled the cab on and it fit beautiful. Did all this in 3 hours. Lots of modifications to the two cabs as Chevy and GMC cab mounts are different. Looks real different now. My Brother Baldybenny has the 292 Chevy for complete rebuild....can't wait. Cab on more pics inside my Photobucket, of course the cab will be painted to match the chassis, this is just a fit up run.....Rick
