Rotisserie
Anyone build one of these for your cab? I am thinking a couple of 1000 lb engine stands and 2x2 tubing. Any tricks or hints on this?

My BIL built one out of two engine stands and some tubing.He basically used the tubing to space the engine stands apart because he used it to redo and paint a dune buggy frame. I think you would need to space the engine stands and build a frame to bolt the cab to.I would think you might want to make the spacer tubing and frame longer than a cab so if you wanted to rotisserie the bed you could without having to build another frame and spacer tubes.

I was going to build a frame to bolt to the cab mounts and mount that to engine frames. I was not going to tie the engine frames together since there is not that much overhung load and the cab will hold them together. Even the bed is pretty darn light compared to a couple of engines. I may just tie the bottoms of the stands together as well.
