Guys,
i need the width across the cab floor from lower hinge post to the other side - preferably as close to floor as possible. I took every measurement but this one when began my resto.

I first replaced the lower hinge post and put in a patch using the old floor edge and outer cowl as reference points. Then I moved onto the floor and side rail. But now I have a 3/4 in gap where the hinge patch meets up with the side rail/floor. I have cab x-braced. Fitting up the floor, front cab support. and bracket tells me that the floor is good but I am off on the hinge post. Before I redo, i want to be sure. Hope this is clear. I posted a couple of new pics. thanks
