temporary cab stand
Hey everyone
Here is my situation.
I have limited space this summer. (working in my parents 2 car garage)
I need your ideas and experience for how to build some sort of wooden temporary frame for the cab so i can roll it around and have it be more accessable. I am going to be working on the frame and doing some body work on the cab so i wanted to mount low to the ground so i can have access to it and be able to sit and work.
I already bent up the bottom of cab sides below the the door frame doing things the way i have them now so i will need to fix this but i want to have some sort of more stable support.
That are your ideas?
Should i just build a wooden dolly that uses the 4 cab mounts?
Thanks.
Stephen

I used a 4x5 pallet with 4x6 beams under the front/rear of the cab, and 4x6 beams front to back under the pallet and 4 casters from harbor frieght... I used some allthread to hold it together..

Mine looks a lot like Sam's. I just used 2 by 4's and built a frame to fit the underside of the cab. Then put some 8 inch swivel casters I had laying around under it. I'm at work right now and can't post pics. Might be a pic in my gallery photos but not sure.
