    Contemplating a Bobber! To do or not to do that is the question!

    Back up! Unbolt the 2 channels from underneath when you get them up on the 2x12s and then cut. That is where I went wrong. The rear one needs to be longer. See pic 1. I suppose you could just remove the rear. I would butt weld it to the front one. It would look better.

    I stood a couple 2x12s on edge on the garage floor and slid the first cab on it. Measured it up so the center post would be exactly the same with as the front post, cut the back off the front cab with a sawzall. Then unbolted the dash from the rear cab and cut across the floor. Only screw up was...

    Clarification. There is no flex between the cabs. They are rock solid. There is no concern. The front and middle mount are about 4' a part and on rubber mounts. you won't flex that frame enough in 4' to make any difference. It is a non issue. The rear mount is original just moved back I believe...

    Pic number 1 looks like it is the one I did. I cut he channel on the rear cab too short. Has I left it long and cut the other shorter they would have lined up perfectly. Later I found another channel to cut right. They unbolt. When you take that extra cab off, take the front cab mounts off of...

    Do you still have the electric parking brake solenoid? I was contemplating the Hydro-boost for my off road m211 So I could gain PS and PB. How is your brake peddle? Wondering if there is enough volume with each stroke for all 12 wheel cylinders?

    I purchased a couple for $79 each. Maybe it was Sam Wiener on ohio??? Any way, it was well worth it!!! I unsuccessfully rebuilt a couple.

    Maybe even a pressure washer would help remove some.

    I believe you may want to shift the transfer to neutral if you are using the winch to pull something else and you do not want the truck to drive. If you have a winch.

    Since you will only have 1 rear axle, you could toss the stock transfer case with the underdrive ratio. Pick up a rusty and reasonably priced 4wd chev pickup with the engine/trans/transfer case you desire and make it fit. The only reason I can see to keep the stock T case is for the second...
