I know from reading the shop manual that the cab mounting changed from 3-point to 4-point in 49. All I have had were 50 and later. Is it difficult to mount a 47-48 Cab on a 49-later Frame? Anyone done this, and what is the best way to do this? Thankshttp://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1948_51truck/51ctsm0101.htm

Unless you're working on a concours restoration (probably not since you're using an "incorrect" frame )
