The cab needed to come off next.
While I had the front clip off I tried to save the paint on the firewall.
I cleaned and polished it the best I could,... but it had to much surface rust.
So I decided the firewall would have to be painted.
My '68 white cab came on a lwb chassis,... so I decided to swap Ginger's cab to the lwb frame, so I could get the firewall painted.
I had just seen an article in one of the truck magazines about an a-frame that Harbor Freight sells.
This would be the answer to all my heavy, one-man lifting, problems.
(plus I like buying tools,... and this was a good excuse)

I forgot to mention,... all the bolts came off this truck super easy.
I guess it's because the PO took really good care of this truck for the last 40 years.
