Cab dolly dimensions?
I'm getting ready to pull the cab off the frame and am wanting to make a dolly to mount it to and to roll it around on. I know some people have made them before, but was wondering if anyone has the dimensions of the cab mounts, so I can actually bolt the cab to my dolly? Open to any pointers on the construction of the dolly also. Thanks!

Re: Cab dolly dimensions?
Sorry I don't have any measurements but this is what I built for my '68 cab. It allows me to roll it around and to rotate it onto it's back, so I could strip the underside.

Re: Cab dolly dimensions?
Thanks for the ideas! I never thought about making it so you can roll it over on the backside...that's good thinking!

What size pipe did you use to make that rig? I am going to try to make myself one of these. Did you have to support the back of the cab when you leaned it back? Thank you! |

Nope, no support for the back. It was firmly bolted to the dolly via the factory body mounting points. I could roll it on it's back without any issues. It worked great.

Re: Cab dolly dimensions?
I took a pallet, stacked (3) 4x4 boards on top of it, then screwed 2 harbor freight furniture dollies to the bottom side of it.
I am loving Chevy Mikes set up
