I decided to weld my cab to my bed to eliminate the gap between the two. my cab sat lower than my bed cause the body mounts are bad so i jacked up on the back of the cab and welded the bed to the cab. i filled the remaining gap with body filler. after it was sanded i jumped up and down on the bumper and saw no signs of cracking an the bodyfiller so it seems secure. the reason i did this is for looks and to fix the difference in the height of the cab and truck bed. it actually looks really good. my question is has anyone done this before and have they had any success with it and what are some possible problems i could have. and i realize that by welding the two together i basically eliminated the body mounts so there is little give to the cab and the frame.
