Good idea Jerry, the tough part would be getting the center of gravity correct.

Been having a lot of thoughts about this thing,I looked at the one that was made of plywood, simplicity to say the least.

I just had another thought, how do I get to the areas directly under the hold down points the length of the cab, I could cut short sections of 3x3 square steel and put them directly under the cab mounting area, that would clear up everything but the hold down points. I don't know if the two rear hold down points would have the strength to be supported in such a small area instead of the entire frame rail.

I could drill and tap the 3x3 and bolt the cab to them, then just use big C-clamps to hold it to my frame, then one at a time remove them for cleaning under those areas.
