I have unsuccessfully searced for a web forum where anyone can offer advise on the stock front cab mounts. After years of sitting, I have been told its common to have these "wings" sag and cause alignment problems with front end sheet metal. I currently have the 292 in the rebuilding stage and am preparing the cab for reinstallation on the frame. My inquiry is about the original alignment of the front cab mounts. When I place a level on the frame from side to side over the top surface of the cab mount wings, the driver side drops about 1/4" and the passenger side drops about 3/8" inch. I am thinking when these trucks were built, the outward ends of the front cab wings are level with the frame and I should make sure they are level before I reinstall the cab. I don't want to take this on if the original cab mounts were not mounted level with the frame. Does anyone have any experience in this department?
