I have a 53 chevy 5 window and have done a frame up resto. I'm in the process of putting the cab back on and wanted to know what the proper distance would be between the cab and frame, both front and back mount locations so i'm able to determine if i need to shim or not. Any help would be appreciate.

thx,

Good luck Kent,there's not much more advice I can add,but it's great when it actually starts to look like a truck again!
