cab removal prep
 

I'm looking to remove my cab very soon and was wondering what steps need to be taken to get to the point of actually removing the cab.....

I know I need to remove the front clip first but what else needs to be done? Is there a specific order to do things? What items need to come off? I've never torn a truck down to the frame before so I'm looking to you guys/gals for a good game plan I can follow..

Any and all ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to do some things this weekend and then I have next Wednesday off from work so I'd like to be in the garage making progress then too.

Thanks in advance. I could really use some guidance.

Just to add... I have already pulled the engine and trans. .... this is my first frame off restoration and I could use all your help.

Please let me know if you need any pics of how it currently sits if that would help determine what stuff I should be removing before the next and so on.

For about a week id go under there and blast the cab bolts with pb blaster.. you need to undo the wiring harness at the fuse block, remove the rag joint and lower part of the column then slowly work out those four cab blots making sure to loosen 1/4 turn then go back a little then loosen more etc etc I used a chainfall and lifted the cab up with the doors just rand the straps through the open windows

Unhook the Brake lines or pull the master cylinder/master and booster how ever you prefer to do it and and check for ground wires start picking it up slow and make sure you didn't miss anything where it your first cab removal that all I can add old rusty c10 nail the rest
