Could you do me solid and share the dimensions of the dollie you made for the cab? Just to save me some measuring. I have a 72 custom deluxe I'm about to get started on. Life got in the way and so did a new house so I'm just now carving out some time.

We have been doing some inside rainy day stuff. Rebuilt the passenger wing window and both kick panel vents. Looking for a drivers wing window i broke the post off the bottom trying to remove the nut oops.

Rebuilt the gauge cluster, worked on cutting bigger hole for the fuse panel and installed the under dash insulation.
