Re: Cab Floor Dimensions Please

On that your best bet and least headaches is to square it up, fit the doors making sure that the door gaps are right where you want them and then brace the daylights out of it so nothing moves before starting to replace any metal .

It doesn't matter how much you are going to replace if it isn't all lined up and squared up before you start you end up welding in more issues than you fix. Been there, done that before anyone ever showed bracing and cross bracing of a cab. That was also before the internet when the how to articles in magazines often assumed that we might know a lot more than we did.
