I have a 1950 4400 , and I would like to know how much clearance between back of the cab and the frame? My cab is almost touching the frame, there might be enough clearance to slide a dollar bill under it.

John Correct. Per Section 1, Sheet 1.07, top of frame is 10" above the zero line, and top of floor is 11.88" above zero line. Also Per Section 1, Sheet 3.12, the rear body mount shackle should be shimmed to "maintain -.76 +.06/-.0 Dim between floor panel and top of frame." But if there's so little space, the rubber bushings in the body mount shackles are probably severely worn.

The brackets are different for 3100, but the same for the bigger trucks, according to the Assembly Manual. If your shackles are still intact, you just need the rubber bushings, which are the same for all trucks.
