Did you bolt the cab down & how? Let me also ask, from a damage control standpoint, you figure there's a preference whether on its back verses on its firewall?

As for the casters I used...Harbor Freight for under $10 bucks. Don't really care what they are made of, as long as they roll
LOL...you don't need 3" screws for 2x4's... 2 3/4" is more than good.
No need to bolt the cabs down...they are heavy enough to stay on the cart and push them around. When I replace a floor, I cut the front off inside the cab then roll it on it's cowl to cut the back out. (I do brace them from the inside to keep them together.)
I build these at 36 3/4" wide. The cab sits on there between the two supports. And as I said earlier, any length from 48" to 96". The 96" long cart holds two cabs back to back very easily.
Hope this helps!
