    m1008 body mount replacement

    don't trust body lines 100% I just parted out a clean southern truck 2wd c-10 and looked good . removed the cab from the frame and found a 3/4" stack of shims under the left rear cab mount . the mount was bad and the frame was bent also . so you can hide a lot if you know what to do .
