4-15-09: I took the driver side plate did some test fitting, some grinding, a little cutting and got it to pretty much fit. I had to cut a slit in the cab just below the hood hinge mounts so I could get the plate to sit flat. Luckily I don't need no stinkin hood hinges! I still need to do a little more grinding on the plate to get a good fit. I'm going to do that tomorrow. I'll get the passenger side to fit good also then I'll cut the centers out of them for my access holes and then weld them in.
With all the metal I'm adding to this cab I'm going to need a crane to lift it onto the chassis!
