Boxing the frame on my 39 1/2 ton. You guys mounting the cab solid after boxing the frame? Or are you leaving a small window to install the spring on the mount just in front of the gas tank?

I had a 1929 1.5 ton Chevy I had to box the frame on. My plan was to put 3/8" plate inside the frame at each mounting hole to drill and tap later. I sold it before I finished it.

My plate served a double purpose. It also spaced out the box plate.
