Thanks for your input. I have replaced the lower hinge area, floor sections, lower rear fender brkt, front lower filler behind the hinge area, cab step and inner and outer cab corners so should be solid enough. But unfortunately remembered why I wasn't using the 2 post in the first place. My 2 post is in my back shop which is used for storage and maintenance and also has a 10' door. Where I do my restoration work is another shop that only has a 7' door. I am going to be to high I think to mount it on the rotisserie and get it through the front shop 7' door. So got to figure something out. Steve
