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.

It's not like you have any weight to carry. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,248 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 1,248 | 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......

Much more stable. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | 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

Much more stable. 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.
