Body lines
Not sure how bed is supposed to match up with cab. What I have now. I do not have the little rubber straps between bed and frame. There are new cab mounts.
Forgive the smeared on bondo I never got back to filing down. The top of fender is close to the line on back of cab but the bottom molding line looks way off from molding line of cab. Thanks |

Re: Body lines
The top of blue tape is at top of "breakover" on each. Appears to be a 1/2-3/4 inch difference. Uploaded photos twice,not sure why they are sideways. Sorry

Re: Body lines
Looks like the cab needs to come up
The door looks low as well

Re: Body lines
Door is cracked open a little so that may look like it. I don't see how the bed can go down,so I guess cab needs to come up. Just trying to figure out why. Maybe the repop fenders are off?

Re: Body lines
It could be the bedside... repop stuff is well known to be bad , even when new..
But even when looking at the lower rocker to bottom of bedside, the cab still looks low Is the cab sitting level on the frame?

Re: Body lines
What is the truck? C10, C20, K10 or K20? Where did new cab mounts come from? Can you post a pic of the rear cab mounts?

Re: Body lines
I had problems with the LMC cab mounts. Have read of others having problems with LMC cab bushings as well. If you look at my build thread you can seen cab
sets low in the first pics. They are LMC rubbers. The newer ones purchased from a forum vender sit much higher. Granted my truck is a 4x4. Maybe something to think about?
