There are a couple of diffrences between the 49 WDX and 62 WM frames. The biggest difference is that that the rear cab mounts are thicker in the 62 they lowered the mount on the frame so they could put a thicker rummber donut in. The holes are int the same place in the cab floor. Get a couple of rubber donuts and place them between the frame and the body. Make sure that you have some space between the fame and the body.
They also changed the front cab mounts from a pice of wood with a rubber pad to a rubber donut. Again make sure that you have space between the fame and the body. You should also clear the accellerator rods on the bell housing. It is a tight fit but they should clear. I would mount the rear of the cab and bolt it into place. Then adjust the front of the cab as best as possible. I would then add the front fenders, cowel and hood and make sure that it all fitw well. I would then drill the holes for the front cab mount only after everthing fits.
