A monumental day in the build has finally arrived, the moving of the cab to the S10 chassis. I had been looking forward to getting this done but also dreading it, not knowing how I was actually going to get the cab moved.
I had seen several other builders post pics of a cab moving rig they built and attached to their engine hoist, so I thought I would give it a shot. The hoist picked up the cab without any issues.
My plan was to pull the cab off to the side and roll the S10 chassis underneath. I was going to swing the back end of the S10 chassis around with a jack in my drive to get it into position but the gravel drive makes that a pain in the ass.
We ended up pushing the cab into the garage with the engine hoist, rolling it over one sheet of plywood at a time. It took a while but it all ended up getting done.
The cab is just sitting on some 4x4’s waiting on me to get it some cab mounts made up. It is satisfying finally seeing the cab on the chassis though.
I also go the floor trimmed a little to get the cab to sit down on the 4x4s.
