We have a cab stand!! I know I made mine alot shorter than most of ya'lls but I don't have to do anything to bottom of the cab thats going on it. Just some firewall shaving and filler neck elimination... I have been waiting to work on this cab for over a year I think...and I still have to wait till I get it ver here tommorrow.

Nice I see you put the casters with the brakes on it. What were the dimensions on this.

Seke69 · 05-24-2003, 08:04 AM

yeah it looks like it'd work well. I could also use some dimensions (if you don't mind).

Did you use 5 8ft 2x4s? if that's the case it should only be about $7 for me (I already have a million casters (none that fancy though!)).

looks good post a pic of the cab on it

I put lag screws in the front to hold the cab down and I will have to pick it up and put it on jack stands to drill a hole through the back to put some all thread through the back mounts. I'll post pics of the cab on it tonight.

Suicide-D · 05-27-2003, 08:00 PM

casey · 05-27-2003, 09:59 PM

nice buckets they'll look sweet in there, are you doing it the same color, I like that color

Suicide-D · 05-27-2003, 10:34 PM

the color is still a toss up... either metallic green or shadow grey... I have mixed emotions...

Orence1 · 05-28-2003, 01:16 AM

Nice seats. Exactly like mine.

Suicide-D · 05-28-2003, 09:41 AM

Orence1- I see 2 things in your picture and I have questions... I see you are using the middle seat and A mega shifter. is that correct? I can't really tell in the picture but it looks like a mega shifter. anyway how do those two work together? I thought after mocking mine up that I couldnt use the middle seat and still reach the shifter. I don't have the shifter yet so I may be wrong.

Thanks to all for the comments

Dirt,
Yes I am using the middle seat and it is a Starshifter. I have plenty of room in the park position as far as the bottom of the dash is concerned. The handle is a bit close to the middle seat in the ratchet "low" position but does not prevent full movement. I will solve that by raising the shifter with a bracket of some sort for it to sit on and by using a longer plastic base cover that I understand B&M has for the taller truck versions. If I can be of any help, let me know.
