True but on mine at least I may need to flip it back and forth a lot just to do the welding.

We all work on our trucks under different situations, Some have pretty large and well laid out shops with room to spread out and the project never has to move except when they decide to move it, Others have to back the wife's car out of her side of the garage and roll the cab over out of it's spot to have room to work and then roll it back and clean up the area before putting her car away in it's spot. Some have a car port or one car garage and some don't even have that.

Remembering that in the early 80's I flipped my cab on it's back on a sheet of cardboard a number of times but now I am not sure that I can flip it by myself anymore.
