Cabs are pretty much a 54" cube, you'll need space between lift legs/ramps.
I did mine inside the doors, pretty simple. But doing it with a more complicated frame under the body mounts, and a fore/aft axis would allow access into the interior. As it is, I have to worm my way in through front and rear window holes. Lots of Power Wagon Yoga for this stiff old skeleton.
It would take about 30' of 2x2 square tubing to build that, plus some pipe for pivots. And allow for the weight when figuring the center of gravity for the pivot height.
I wired a couple sand bags to the roof to muffle the noise when pounding on it. Coincidently, they helped balance the cab near perfectly.
