cab dimensions

hey guys what are the approx. cab dimensions of the 51 series cab (LxW)
I want to make sure I have a spot to set it out of the way when it gets here.
Also are there many bolts that mount the cab to the frame?

Re: cab dimensions

6 bolts. 1 up front on each side, 2 on each shackle mount in the back. E brake rod tends to be in the way. That's not counting the fenders.

You can do some research here.

Re: cab dimensions

No sweat, you can also get each of the year's manuals by going back to the main page. Some have more info than others.

Re: cab dimensions

Unbolt the shackles from the frame of the doner rig.

Figure on a five by six foot space to set the cab down with just a bit of wiggle room around it.
