Chuck, cool to see more truck conversion work in Minnesota! My rig was built with the air ride cab delete (truck was ordered from Freightliner to be built as a motorhome so it never had air ride cab). The box (living quarters) is bolted to the frame solid. There is a rubber accordian between the cab and the l/q. Even with both units attached to the frame there is some flex and movement which I believe requires that accordian. I think if you still had an air ride cab the movement would be way too much for an accordian to handle. I think everybody disables the air ride cab and locks it down when building a coach.
I'd love to visit with you while you're making your coach if that's okay. You're welcome to check mine out too if you want. I live in St. Paul but store mine in Hastings. Keep in touch.
