Re: Cab mounting on s10 frame help!!!!!

the center part of the frame is level to the ground, so you can check it against your rockers.

I dont like fully welding body mounts in until I have done the mock up for this reason so maybe you feel the same.

likely the difference you are seeing is because there is two different factory mounts on the ADs, a shackle mount and a outrigger (or center) mount type. the shackle type usually requires a spacer to fit up inside the cab brace that isnt there on the outrigger/center type. looks like maybe you built it for the spacer?

I would put some wheels on the front and make SURE they are centered. thats the biggest problem with s10 frame swaps in some peoples opinions, the front wheels arent centered. you will need the suspension to be as low as it will be with the wheels on to check, because the s10 front suspension pulls the wheel back in the wheel well at really low drops, so what looks centered with the suspension hanging is NOT centered when aired out.
