A big (12+'') turn buckle welded on to steel bar/rod/square/or pipe, 1'', fastened to the cab's weak or stressed point(s) to hold shape.

small wheel moves by fire and rod,
big wheel fires by the grace of god,
everytime that wheel turns round,
bound to cover just a little more ground.

Brace it every which way. Watch old episodes of "Trucks" or pick up Tom Brownell\'s Chevy Truck restoration book for some examples.
