Now for some harsh reality.
I have not sat in my cab 11 with the roof installed since 2004.
Ouch........'tis tight....very tight. Once in your fine...... I would hate to have to bail out under fire and might go down with the truck!!!! Grant took a series of Yoga twist photos I use to get in..... including having to pull hard to squeeze my (long) left leg over the door sill. But worth it!!!! ....can't seem to be able to attach the pictures!!!! "MANAGE ATTACHEMENT" button will not work.... Seems I have runout of security tokens for posting???

Cab 11.05
Hi Gord
Yes mix and match...... Used the cab corner reinforcements, the radiator reinforcement bar that fits behind the fan. ....cab 12 vent opening as mine had been torched...... and some cab 12 engine covers section to patch up mine.......not to mention the doors.... ....and so far so good!!!!! Stay tuned.

Yoga positions for entering cab 11....
Hoping the pictures will work this time..
Nah..... something is wrong!!!! GOT ME SOME TOKENS FROM HANNO apparently if you get the message that you lack security tokens it is because your pictures are tooooo large... so will try again.

door hinges....
Hi Bob,
Took some photos of the door hinges on my cab 11 C8 today. Both halves of the hinge are bent to give about 7/8" gap between the two pieces. Has a fairly large gap between the cab back panel and the hinged part of the door also...the doors fit and latch well. Thanks, David

Thank you....
For the re assurance.....looking at your hinges I can see that my door hinges, which are flat at the moment, will need some tweaking to get the proper gap at the rear of the door. I also have the luxury of adjusting the door skin, which is not yet installed, to make up some of the space.
I feel better that I am moving in the right direction. Cheers

One more question David....
On your C8..... did you have or have you added any rubber trim to the doors or door sill.....?
As you know the early cab 11 was steel on steel but the luxurious cab 12 had some rubber seals retro fitted at least on the door sill curve over the fender. Curious if the door slam close with a clank or a thud!!!!!! Cheers
