Re: My 55 Chevy 4X4

What I thought was going to be a 2 hour job turned into an all day event. After getting the cab on the frame it did not look right. The front of the cab was way Higher then the rear. Not knowing what was going on I had to put the bed on. The cab and the bed were not parallel. I think I forgot to account for the bushing thickness on the front mounts. I cut the the front mounts and got the cab and bed lined up. Side to side height is within 1/8" and the cab is about 1" high in the front but the engine should level it out. If not I will adjust the height up/down by rear suspension. I swear I had everything dialed in before I took it all apart. Now I am going to have to redo the core support mounts. Just one giant domino affect.

I also started welding in the sleeve for the dash pocket.
