Sometimes there was still some of the spot weld holding, which is where the thin chisel comes in. But anyway the point is I needed to put a fair amount of gronk on some of those welds to get them to separate. The choice to not use wheels really worked out well. I also made the stand high enough that I could sit on my shop rolling stool and work comfortably. You can just see the stand in these two pics.When I was done working on the cab I cut the welds on the stand and put the pieces back into my scrap steel pile.
Looks like a pretty nice setup you have. My cab is sitting on a rolling wooden cart, so I am doing the all that metal work on that before I put it on a rotisserie to paint underneath.
