Re: pulling the cab

Take front clip off, take doors off, remove seat and tank, and get three buddies to help you pick it up and set off the frame. be carefull, as the bare cab is a little front heavy. One man can easily tip the cab from the normal position onto its back, though I recomend a dolly. These cabs are really light totally gutted out. I've got an old beat-up junk cab that I can load and unload into the bed of my truck by myself. You will, of course, want to take more care if it is a cab you are working and don't want dented/glass broken.
If you are doing a cab swap, and the old cab is really rotted/dented, it is also real easy, after unbolting it, for one person to just roll it off the frame.
