Default Re: checking cab for straightness

Do not remove the doors or the windshield frame they are the jigs which would indicate how true your cab is . If the windshield opens and closes as it should and the doors fit correctly and the swage lines line up then the cab is straight enough . Hood to cab fit is dictated by correctly shimming the body blocks and radiator . If this does not resolve fittig issues then the frame is bent . This normally occurs in way of the rear motor mount where the frame is bent down . The learned gentlemen on The Barn will tell you how to fix this .The steel doors are all steel and can be "wrung" to improve lower door fit .
