It's weird how things can fit easy on one side, and you can end up with your hands full on the other side! That's why it's so important to keep checking the fitment of everything as you go along. As soon as I finish up the first round of body work on the cab, I will put the truck back together one more time, that way I don't end up with any unwanted surprises once it's painted. I got the welds cleaned up under the cab, and I like to put a tight skim coat of fiberglass reinforced filler over the welds. It's waterproof, so if I missed any pin holes I will be ok, and after a quick sanding, priming, and undercoating, the repair will be pretty much invisible.
