Scruby: That would be great. It will be a long haul to come down there from here but if the cab is in as good shape as you say it is, it will be well worth the trip AND the price is right, you can't beat free. Also it will give me an excuse to get out of here for a while. As far as building something to sit it on, use 2 pallets side to side and slip 2x4's in (4 about 6' long) between the slats and screw them in from both sides and put a caster in each corner and 2 in the center between the other 2. (3 on each side) I have 1 I use to move cabs around in my shop. I usually lay the cab on it's back though, but for a trip it will have to be upright sitting on pieces of 6x6 and 4x4. For now just sit it any way you can so it won't get damaged and I'll bring the lumber with me to secure it for the trip back. I'll see what I can do about getting down there as early as possible. I figure as soon as the weather breaks. I'll be driving my restoration job to pull the trailer & I know you know I won't drive it on winter roads with all the salt and sand N.Y. & PA put down during the winter.
Your giving me the cab for free, SO, honor dictates I offer you something in return. If you need anything let me know and if I have it or can get it, it's yours. OK?
Send me some photos of the bottom of the cab paying attention to the rocker panels and cab corners as well as the floor. Thank you.
I have an 86 as a spare vehicle and I was going to scrap it because the cab is REALLY shot, now I can bring it back to life and get it back on the road again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much. Jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
