:confused: OK it's about time to start puting the body back together. Are there pads or spacers that go between the cab and frame, and the bed and frame? If so, how thick are these?

    I'm not sure about the bed and the frame Lance but on my '47 C8 sedan I put rubberpads/strips about 1/8th inch thick between the frame and the body mostly in all the areas where bolts go through the body into the frame. The rubber sheet came off a printing press roller and I cut it up and glued it to the frame with contact cement so the pads wouldn't shift while I was lowering the body back onto the chassis. Originally I think the pads were pieces of asbestos....at least that's what they appeared to be and obviouly I wasn't going to put those back.
