    I sold my FLD a couple months ago and bought this. It's a '95, 550 Cat and 13 speed. 282" wheelbase. I wanted to rebuild my FLD when I noticed the cab was cracking around the lower stack brackets, but I had the opportunity to get decent money for it as it sat and well, how much do you keep putting into a 13 year old FLD? I'm excited to have something different to tinker on. Looking forward to fixing this one up.

    I know that has my old truck put a plate on the inside and outside, siliconed the crack, and bolted it all together. Seems like an easy fix if you don't mind a visible reinforcement plate on the outside of the cab.
