It is hard to see, but we are shooting lasers down the length of the table. This ensures the frame rails are centered on the table so we can mock-up the body.

Double checking frame dimensions by trial fitting front end to tub. This will help me place body and decide on cab to tub clearance.

We figured all looks good on mock-up of frame to tub and cab... We lower it down, and tie the frame solid to the table and proceed to clamp and square the body to the frame. This lets us have a solid platform to get our 'special' body mounts done and also ensure we are level and square.

Start of the body mounts. They are hard to visualize now, but they were cut in our cnc plasma table and still have to be bent in the brake, and have parts welded to them. I think they will look cool when done...we should have some pics in a day or two of a finished one so you will see how they are going to work.
