Thanks in advance. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 481 | Hello badriand. Welcome aboard.
The original nuts for those cowl to floor connections were held in place and I don't see that they were ever designed as an adjustment point. Although, I know the height of those blocks will affect the door adjustment.
My original wood blocks were rotted and partially collasped. I replaced them with 1 1/8 inch thick dense rubber blocks shaped as the original wood.
That connection could be welded. It's probably only there because of ease of manufacturing, IMO.
I think fitting the doors before welding would be prudent, if that's what you decide to do. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 331 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 331 | Hi badriand
My wood blocks were also rotten and we replaced with a 2 inch piece of square tubing, and then welded the join on the cab. I feel that this will be a lot stronger if the truck is ever in an accident. I had a new floor pan made also and welded it in place. If you would like pictures I can email you some.
