    The shitty frame I built to move the cabs around without frames under them collapsed when unloading the old cab behind the garage

    Installed a frame box kit and some shocks that better match the travel of the rear. With stock length springs I can almost use all the shock travel.

    Where were you able to source a new cab from?
    I'm striking out on my double cab search, and don't want to buy a whole truck

    I got lucky on local FB marketplace. It was overpriced and still has some damage but no safety structure damage. Was sold as a clean cab but a nice big bondo crack formed moving it around. I'd still do it again but not for over 1k one that was stripped and had previous damage.

    If you're good with body work my old cab will go here soon

    I'd be interested in checking it out when your ready to part with it. Like you, this is probably going to be a year long in the making for me.
