    Guess you didn't watch my '60 build. 😉 I had an issue where the dash didn't sit right and I had to make a few adjustments to get it to slide in further. Although the interior tub looked like it was where it was supposed to be, it wasn't. The problem is in your dash. With that said, even after you fix that issue the bed looks like it wants to sit lower than the cab, you may have to shim the bed with a couple thin pieces of styrene to align it. Initially I opened up the holes on the frame where the pins fit into them, that helped some, but did not alleviate the issues. Take a look at the dash and see if it's sitting correctly first, then go from there.

      I didn't see the video at the time. The interior was a tight fit to get into the cab, I had adjusted the dashboard, was afraid that I was gonna scratch the paint on the body, ended up losing the back window. I removed the tabs on the bottom of the interior that was suggested and that seemed to have worked!! It looks real good!!! This truck has been a quick build, lotta fun! I'll post a video of it in couple days!!! I appreciate the help!!!!

    I agree with Time machine. That kits dash is a little odd in how it fits. I think I just removed those front pins.

      Thanks! The interior was a super tight fit into the cab, lost the back window playing with it to get it up there. But it ended up being the pins underneath, shaved them off and it went right together!! I appreciate the help!!!!!

    The holes for the locating pens are probably off. Clip those little pins off of the bottom of the Interior that'll give you enough play so you can let the cab drop and be even with the bed

    I had a problem with an old MPC '76 Firebird and I had to grind the interior tub bottom and chassis to get the body to sit low enough so the frame would not show. Your results may vary.

    • @carouselofcrazychrisb

    check the pin holes out if it looks good you are going have to add plastic to fix it by using plastic rods like 3/32 or maybe tubes the only way really is to add and remove plastic

    Take the interior tub out of the cab and see how it lines up on the chassis. The pins could be off or too tight. A lil trim on the pins may be all you need. HtH
