I'm not sure they are. I've still got a ways to go with lineing this thing up. I sure like taking pictures along the way.

It sure doesn't help that the floor is not level.

It's a good question, and it was my intent to use the trucks b pillar as the new c pillar, However, the c pillars on suburbans and I belive on crew caps as well does not match the b pillars. The extra length will help with leg room and provide more strength ans I didn't have to cut through the original support structure. I belive this to be the easy way to do it. If there is such a thing.
