CAB Dolly for paint
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. TW |

Re: CAB Dolly for paint
Thats a great idea. I would need detail plans to make it cause I cant drive a nail in straight so me building one from your picture would not happen.
I had my cab flipped over like that the otherday, when if flipped off the hoist onto the ground.

Re: CAB Dolly for paint
Real nice idea! I wish I would have thought about that- I put truck bed coating with a roller and brush on the bottom of my cab on my back.... It sucked!!!
