thanks guys.
It set the cab so high I had trouble getting it back in the garage when I tipped it up.
It does make it much easier to work on though.

You are so clever! Surely you had someone helping you??
I've probably asked this, but what color scheme are you going with?

I had a neighbor help with the flip but it did go real easy.
I'm planning on a light metallic blue at this time.

I have a bunch of small holes to weld up in the floor of my cab so I came up with this to make it a little easier.
Took an old C clamp and attached it to a strong magnet and epoxied a piece of copper to it.
Not sure how the epoxy will last with the heat. If it comes off the pressure alone will hold the copper to the area I need to weld.

You might just slip a copper tubing cap over the end.

Working on the bottom of the cab i got tired of having to straighten the door sills out. My originals were toast and my new ones kept on getting banged up as they seem to be a weak spot.
This is what i did.
Took some 1"x2" rectangular tube and cut out a couple of braces.
Got them welded in and now my sills can hold me.

Here they are welded in. I have no idea what the factory did to protect them.

My originals were beat to hell and the new ones kept on getting banged up in the garage so I needed to do something.
