Re: How many cabinets can you fit...

The problem I have seen is getting the games in and out after you get 3 games in the back. I guess if you have people helping its a lot easier. It also helps to have a truck that isn't too high off the ground. I've become pretty good at getting games in and out of my work's Dodge Ram v10 quad cab extended bed truck, but its a pain.

Another thing to consider is strapping the games to themselves to make a single entity and then strap *that* to the truck. It isn't always easy depending on the shape of the cabs, but it will help stop the games from tipping over. Likewise, you will want to distribute the weight as best as you can (hint: don't put all of the heavy Atari games together on one side).
