Not sure on how your cab mounts but may want to do the same. Will be tricky i know because it will want to pull the metal in if the reinforcement is not darn near perfect, but at least then its solid and you can work on it without it moving around on you!

On the 53-56 Fords, the cab mounts are in the four corners, so that isn't an issue. I have some lead to get rid of in the corners before I start to straighten this cab out around the patch panels. I really like the way this shrinking disc is suppose to work, not too much heat and it only affects the high spots. The problem I have with hiding it is with the box front panel being straight anything not straight will show up like a sore thumb. I'm trying to find this disc up here in Canada...if it is only $40, what have I got to loose?
I can't believe this! These shrinking disc's are not available in Canada and no body has heard of them up here...I truly live in the far north!!!Ordered them from Dagger Tools be here in a week. Will let you know how they work.
