I thought about it also but that seems like alot of extra weight in places dont want it

was thinking about that too but i'm building a whole new truck and just want to do it once. I'm sure there's nothing like working on something that you can have full access to everything all the way around it.

Not sure how these will show up. But the way we did ours. All the bed frame is made out if alum. I can pick it up with 1 hand to tilt it, then I have a bar to hold it. I had air cylinders on it but wasnt really worth it.
The cab, all the frame the cab needed was From the back of the front door back. Just made a few x braces across and back and pivot point is at the bottom back of cab. We used a 4" bore 12-16" air cylinder I can't remember which. 120# of air would pick it up. I carry a little nitrogen tank with me( co2 Is fine to). Most of the time I only use it working at home so I don't mess with tank. It is handy, but I didn't want the added weight and such of a full frame, full body tilt.
Just a idea. Not saying its the best. Keeping a full cab floor and such would add a issue into the mix. Actually what I'm looking at doing now is how to put back together to meet ppl 3.0 smooth rules. We have changed the seating and stuff now and have a firewall back in different than those pictures. But still need cab floor I guess to really pass rules.
