    Does anyone have plans, drawings, blueprints, etc for a regular cab, or know where to get them?
    I will do it myself either way. I'm just trying to save some planning time.

    Thanks for the info, guys.

    Sbram, what size tube, angle, and bolts did you use? When I build things without plans, I tend to make them too bulletproof. BTW, they look good scratched up and muddy!

    If you give me the measurement from the back bottom lip of the front fender flare, to the front bottom lip of the rear fender flare I can give some dimensions to you for the rest of the stuff
