cab dimensions
 
hey guys what are the approx. cab dimensions of the 51 series cab (LxW)
I want to make sure I have a spot to set it out of the way when it gets here.
Also are there many bolts that mount the cab to the frame?

6 bolts. 1 up front on each side, 2 on each shackle mount in the back. E brake rod tends to be in the way. That's not counting the fenders.

You can do some research here.

No sweat, you can also get each of the year's manuals by going back to the main page. Some have more info than others.

Unbolt the shackles from the frame of the doner rig.

Figure on a five by six foot space to set the cab down with just a bit of wiggle room around it.
