It looks raked to me by about 2 inches too tall on the rear. Ive used version one cab mount designs, and am utilizing stock s10 body mounts.
If anyone has a picture of their cab on frame it would be very appreciative. Or if someone can check on their finished build whether or not the cab rest on a parallel line with respect to the frame. Thanks guys.

I had a similar problem since my floor was completely gone, and I made my own floor, bracing, and mounts. I made the bottom of the cab parallel to the bottom of the frame, which should also make your running boards level with the frame.
