    Just chase it from one side. You'll be able to get one corner in and as you cut back you'll be able to get more of it in.

    Why not take metal plate, trace it on a cardboard, cut hole in cardboard, slip over factory cab mount till fit it's to your liking and that's the part you cut off.

    Is it wise to chop and not IMMEDIATELY weld the plates on? I'm lifting tomorrow and figured since it was going to be on a lift, unbuttoned, and i'd have the tools hand that i could go ahead and make the cuts. My buddy is going to do the welding but he's not available for a few days.

    There's nothing wrong with waiting. Hell, some people make the cut and just never weld plates on.

    Haha agreed, plates should definitely be welded on. Just looks so half ass to leave them exposed permanently.
