I figure on pulling my cab off after I get everything welded in to sand blast the underside and what not. I like to weld over the seams on the underside for added strength, then I can grind the weld on top down flush.  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,248 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,248 | You mite also want to support the
front corners on the cab when you cut away
the floorpans, there isn't much left if your
removing the whole piece. I used a jackstand
and some pieces of board to shim to correct
hieght before cutting. | | |
