For the last 3 years, I have had body armor so to speak, and it has work EXTREEMLY well. Trips to the con, and local nutty stuff. And its basically 2x3 welded to the cab at the rockers.. So, to mount the cab FIRMLY to the frame, I ran stringers.

That's going rock. I just had a dream last night about redoing a 81 from the ground up, but that puts it to shame.Can't wait for more pics.
