Thanks Joe.

I spent the day taking the front end, front bumper and bracket and the CAB back off the frame. I moved the engine/tranny about 1/2" forward so it clears the firewall a little better.

Then I re-checked the cab mounts to make sure I've got the cab sitting where I want it. I think it will be about 1" higher off the ground in back, but it will be level side to side. That is the "rake" it has in the earlier pic.

Now I'm fitting and welding the tranny crossmember, since the cab is off and I can get to it.
