    Cab Is Off

    I had planned on using the cherry picker but after I took the doors off I tried lifting the cab up and decided two guys on each side would be good. I went across the street and got two big kids to help. We rolled the truck out the back of the garage, lifted the cab up and rolled the chassis back in the garage with the help of another buddy and set the cab down on a plywood box that the wife slid under.It was way easier than I thought it would be, that's what I get for think'n.

    Chkywuky,

    You may want to build you a cab dolly so that you can roll that thing around. The are very simple to build and believe you will be very glad that you built it. I made mine out of some metal stock I had lying around, but you can also make them out of wood.

    By the way I removed my and installed my cab the same way good old man power.lol My buddy and I.
