thanks for the info  the 1. 75 x1.20 should be heavy enuff     i want it to be safe for shure  there aint much metal on this old cab

.134 is heavy duty but better safe then sorry.... I crushed my 1.50 X .090 wall so I went big this time

BigFrank

wher you getting your material at ??  i know theres lots of places  but drivin hours ads up  to offset the savings   im also thinkin the main hoop behind the seat and the legs down to the front will be the thicker wall pipe
