Hauling a cab in the truck bed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just found a rust free cab for cheap, but it's like 90 miles away. Do you think if I turned it sideways it would fit in the bed? Maybe have to build a platform over the tubs?

Don't know about how it would fit, but I would rent a trailer.

Yes it will.
I've loaded cabs into El Caminos even and the one time into Bob's (Old Rusty C10) Ranger.

Nice work there. Shows you how small those Rangers are.

I hauled one in my short wide 71, fit with no problem.

Awesome, thanks guys
How did u load it? 4 guys?

Forklift I think. Unloaded with 2 people and some creativeness. Have some blocks or tires so you can keep the cab corners off the floor.
4 people to load would be great. Otherwise a tractor and some straps would be really good.
