Both are in the way of the cab and will be moved enough to clear the cab.
I pulled the cab off again so I can start to fix those areas and so I can cut the Tahoe cab mounts and move them to their new homes. I took a picture tonight of the simple wood part I'm using to move the cab on and off. The 2X4 beam I used to support the Tahoe body was perfect for my needs, so I cut it to length, and then I bolted two 2X4 side plates onto the beam. It works great. It does not scratch the inner roof because it stays firmly in place, and it makes taking the cab off with just one person a very easy chore.
Stay tuned!  |
That cab lift is such a great idea. I was using a piece of plywood, a blanket, and a flat plate at the end of the boom, but that looks more solid. Mind if I steal the idea?
