OK,so the big bolt fenders should work for that frame width? I'm thinking that the cab would have to be lifted above the frame (junk!) or the cab modified to nest between the rails.Can anyone direct me to any photos of the bottom of one of these cabs?

I'm thinking that the tranny is going to need some clearance on the cab floor also.
