Hey Slacker, is that ALL you got done today?:haha::haha:



I'm impressed Joe. Y'all ain't foolin' around are ya?

The lift adapter obviously worked out well. Were you happy with the way it lifted the cab?

What is the plan for the cab now that it's in the bed of your squarebody?

What's on the agenda for tomorrow?

Yea, I know I'm full of questions but hey, inquiring minds want to know!!

yeah, this thing worked great!!
even with limited space, you can spin the cab and turn the picker.
it is the slickest thing ever!!!
thanks again to suicide63 for pointing the thread out and thanks to Solver
for posting dims!!!

I need to find a soda blaster, gonna get the cab blasted.....but first I want to build a tilt dolly;)

tomorrow the plan is to get the 700R4 mocked up and a cross member built, then load up the frame and take it to the car wash. might not all get done tomorrow:waah:
after the wash, i need to weld up some stuff on the frame and order/build/scavenge a gas tank for the rear

Joe, I'm happy for you. Now I want to build one of those lift adapters. Don't know if I will or not. I'm so close to getting the cab on the frame it wouldn't benefit me at this stage of the game. Good luck with everything.
