I braced my cab real good before I cut anything off and also made tons of measurements and took four time as long as I should have before welding anything, but when it was all over, I was able to fit everything together perfect and it turned out really well. I replaced everything from the firewall(used), toe boards, floor except the section under the seat, rockers, cab mounts cowl sides and all around the cab lower sections. I had never taken on a project of this magnitude before and it was a real treat to see it completed. All the panels do need to be trimmed and fit together to some degree, but that is the fun part. When it was all done and I was ready to install the transmission, also from NCT, it wouldn't go down right. After some inspection, I found the edge was turned down further than the gasket was thick and I ground the edge so the gasket would fit and it dropped right in place.
