I'm wondering, has anyone hauled an AD cab in a pickup truck? I have a standard 8' bed Chevy pickup truck. Can an AD cab be hauled this way? How is the best way to sit it in the bed for hauling? I don't have a trailer.

Thanks John

Put a couple pieces of 2X6 across the top of the bed, set the cab on top of them and strap it down.
It's not like you have any weight to carry.

That is what I was wondering, the bedliner has places to put boards across to hold something above the wheel wells. I can travel cross country with it, so no highway driving is involved then......

Thanks John

Stripped cab weighs about 300 pounds.

Why put boards across? Turn the cab sideways and leave it upright. Strap it down well. Much more stable.

I carried a TF cab turned sideways in a '67 fleetside - put on 2 pallets so the weight was on them and the floor rather than the steps, fit fine

I don't think it will fit between the wheel wells in the bed (49"). Measuring the cab roughly, seemed to be 56" front to back (firewall to rear of cab) or about 58" top to bottom.

Just took mine to the stripper and back, with it in the bed on 2x6's, in the bed pockets just above the wheel wells, sitting side ways. don't forget to strap it down.
