Are these gaps normal?

[Rack Man]

When I put my cab on the frame with all new body bushings I had no "play" whatsover in any direction once I put the bolts in.....Actually I had to hammer in the last bolt, so in my case I could not adjust the squareness of the cab at all.....though, I did check the squareness and it was pretty close.....Maybe you will have some "play" in yours..

Heymoe, just a thought try loosening the lower rear fender bolt, take the core support bolts out, place a jack under the core support and lift it. The fender/door gap should even up, now tighten the lower rear fender bolt & slowly release the jack that is under the core support. If the gap stays correct then see how much shim you need between the core support & core support mount, add an 1/8 to 3/16 inch to the shim then replace the core support mounting bolts & tighten them down. This problem could be the doors but I would think over the years the front cab mounts collapsed more than the rear cab mounts & stressed (bent)the fenders, or maybe the cab supports rusted out and put even more stress on the fenders. Just guessing. James.
