Hey Tom, IIRC I re-drilled the holes and also had to modify the back of the new floor pan because it then interfered with the cab corner. A lot depends on the mix of parts you're trying to assemble. I think all of us have had to deal with patch panels and other aftermarket pieces that are stamped from worn out dies and don't fit like they're supposed to. I try to assemble as much as I can and see what sticks out like a sore thumb. Then determine what I have to do to get it back in line. It can be nerve wracking, but a guy with a welder, basic metalworking tools, a little patience and no fear can beat sheetmetal into submission. Then Bondo the rest.
