Re: 1972 chevy k20
Making the cab mounts/core support mounts the correct height and placing them in the correct places on the frame so the front sheet metal lines up to the cab and centers the body side to side and level on the frame. I started with the cab resting on 4x4 blocks of wood on the frame them moved it around till it was positioned so the front fenders lined up to the wheels and everything was level and centered. Then fabbed the cab mounts out of steel plate. After the cab and front clip were mounted I mounted the bed. The other thing you'll have to likely deal with is the wheel base being wrong, which means moving the axle or lengthening or shortening the frame... It's a lot of work.
