Re: best way to lift the cab off of frame safely
I'm wondering if I should build an A-frame. I could build it in the garage, or even better the side yard, though it's gravel so there would be some considerations. Only issue is, it would have to be wood. Really, I probably should invest in a hoist. I'm also considering building a cab cart. Just need to measure the distances between four bolts and the ground up on each one..........I think. This is all new to me.
Built a cart for the bed already. Bolt on, stout, 350 lb casters and allows for adjustments if need be. The only thing is the distance is 61 5/8" deep. In other words, it bolts from the front of the bed to the [U]second set of bolts from the rear. I wanted the space in the back exposed for any body work, and I don't believe it would tip, even with someone climbing in. We'll find out, simple fix.
