The cab latch assembly had a misalignment issue making it progressively more and more difficult to properly close the cab and latch it to the frame of the truck. There do not seem to be any provisions for adjustment of the latch assembly on the cab or the cross member attached to the truck. The a misalignment of the cab latch assembly seems to be a result of improper location of the cab hinge.
