Yeah, I was thinking worst case scenario I could shimm the body mounts or something. I don't think I'm too far off though. I think with a little more trimming here and there I can get it to line up without having to do that.

Sometimes I feel like the guy who told his boss " I DID CUT IT! I cut it twice and it's still too short."

I plan on getting the truck back to "rolling" status, IE: get the frame welded. Next: Gas tank plumbed and strapped in the bed for temporary. Then: Brake lines and drive shaft. Then: come back and graft the cab together. If I need to I can pull the body mounts on the xcab and line it up that way. We shall see if my plan works out.

After that:The expensive stuff, Paint and body work and new tires! and maybe the Maple-leaf Parade and car show!
