I have used a 5 X 8 trailer that you bolt together from the local hardware
store. You can bolt on the wood to form a frame to hold the cab. I used it
to transport the cab to the media blaster in my area and also to a local
body shop. They all appreciated the fact that it was mobile. After they
were done I hitched it up to my truck and drove it home to complete the work
I was able to do. I fit it on sideways.
Now I also have a trailer to haul other parts home, and it folds up and can
be stored by the side of the garage to be used for other hauling needs I
have. All you have to do is buy the 2 by's for what you need to haul.
Cost under $250. Assembly time one Saturday afternoon.
