Disassembly of cab... HELP!
Hey guys, finally been able to get some stuff done on the truck. She is a 1951 3100. I am trying to separate the inner panels so I can get all the rust cleaned up behind the panel, but I have run into some problems getting the rear panel out. I can't figure out what I'm missing. I have cut all the spot welds and have removed those bolts under the lip. I can feel the thing moving around but it isn't budging. I have a factory assembly manual and I can see where the parts are supposed to separate, but the manual gives me just a small image that is less than helpful. I was hoping for some advice from some of you guys with experience with getting this piece out.

The panel around the window? What about spot welds at the belt line? The verticle ribs spot weld on the belt line and may be securing the rear panel.

I don't know, please do educate me. If you are veteran with this work, I'll follow you blindly. So I need to separate the belt line from the panel? |

Slow day on the assembly line, or change made during production that was not documented. QC may have noticed problems and the quy said "they want more welds, well here you go..."
