Re: Hood wont close

DSRaven said it before I did. FIRST Make sure that the cab is level on the frame and the right distance off the frame.

I don't know if the TF assembly manual has the info like the AD truck manual does but having the front and rear of the cab spaced correctly off the frame is very critical with AD trucks and I'd think just as critical with TF trucks.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
