I am going to be removing the cab off of my 52 3/4, so I can sand blast the frame. The cab is pretty solid, I am going to put new floor panels in it before I remove it. Do I have to brace the cab before I remove it or will it be ok to not brace it?

As long as you have a solid cab, no bracing is necessary. Be sure to do all your repairs to the cab while it's on the frame... it's as good as fixture.

Woody,
Boy ,do I wish someone had told me that before.


Not a mistake I would want anyone to make, hard to believe that cab could move that much.
