Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

So I went out to the truck for a little bit so far today. It's incredibly hot and humid, but my garage is slightly cooler with the door closed.

I managed to clean up the old spot welds enough to try test fitting the new front cab support. It does not quite match up as well as I would like.

The hole for the floor bolt does not line up, which is no big deal as I can obviously make it bigger. However, when I compare the replacement to the original, other parts of it seems to be slightly off as well. For example, the sides that stick out when look at the top of it - one side is really thin, but on the original it's equal. Same thing with the outer tabs as well.

Am I being too picky? Should I just make this work, or should I look for a better part?

Going to work on some more welding in the meantime. Which I had a spot welder, but I just can't justify spending the cash on it. It's not something I see myself using a lot after I am done with the truck.
