I built the cradle. I didn't want to let it sit on the rockers for the ride home. I've seen some rolled over pinch welds from that in the past. I also expect this thing to be in my shop for a while and I'll put the cradle on one of my moving dollys so I can roll it around.

The cab would be a lot closer to level if I had made the front support about 4 inches wider (what was supposed to be the front is in the back the way it sits right now).
