CAB Dolly for paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Last week I modified my CAB dolly so I could tip the cab on its nose to get ready for paint. I used some 8' 4'X4" to have enough room to tilt the cab. I used some 2X6 lumber to support the cab then I used 2X4s to act as guide rails so the cab would not slip off the side. I attached a chain to the bottom of the cab to stop it from falling over on its roof. When the cab is on its nose I attach a brace to keep it in place. It works great and didn't cost over $30.00 for the new lumber.

The whole thing rolls onto a trailer to get it to the shop.
