47-55.1 Bellhousing Crossmember necessary?

[leegreen]

Does anyone know if the cab floor is parallel to the top of the frame rail from factory? I've always assumed it should but the dimensions in mr48's links make me question that.

this picture, do you have the original to confirm this dimension reads 1.83" ?


and here is the back dimension for reference: .76


So there is a 1" difference front to back.

I have everything operational but the hood fit only looks good if you squint. Cab-fender relationship is one of the things on my roundtoit list.
