Re: Cab moving...

I just removed my 85 cab then reinstalled it solo. After removing the doors and hindges I cut a piece of 2"x1/4" flat bar about 3' long and bolted it in place of the door hindges.
I also bolted in a pair of bench seat tracks in the stock location.
Then built an A frame out of 1.5 square tubing to which I added casters to both legs.
The hinge plates welded to one side of Aframe, then ran a piece of 1.5 through the other side of A and across the seat tracks. Welded this tubing to seat tracks and A frame.
This was done with the frame supported on stands as high as possible.
Then i just removed cab bolts, lowered frame and rolled cab off frame.
This way i could move the cab around by myself.
Installed by myself just oppisite.
